1st time Grower lighting advice

DeviouZGrower · Jun 2, 2020

Hey everyone, this is my first time attempting to grow. I have 2 auto-flowers currently under 2 T8 Fluorescent bulbs(4 ft, 32 W 6500K Daylight) and 3 normal plants(seeds I found in bud). Is this good for veg? Could I use 1 6500K bulb and 1 2700K bulb to keep vegging the 3 normal plants while giving enough red light for the auto-flowers to flower nicely? Any advice is needed as this is my first attempt! Can't wait to complete 1st harvest!

That's not much light... I use t5 for rooters and hids for the rest

Hmm, Ideally I don't want to spend a lot of money on lights. Any suggestions to get more light without breaking the bank? lol

You know I only paid 108 bucks for my 600w ipower, it's been running a year and a half with no problems.

Decent lights are going to cost you 100+ unless you build your own.

Build your own? What would that look like and setup?

It’s not anything I’d personally do but you can look up diy quantum boards.
I bought a 125.00 led from amazon. Getting the job done for a 32”x32”x65
I’m supposed to be getting my SF-1000 later today to throw in there for peace of mind.
