I have 2 1 and a half foot ballast and bulb socket kits. They are blacklight ballasts i am sure i can put reg tubes in. I have 2 cfl reflectors and lights. I gotta veg 2 plants right now from clone. What wud be the best way to go? More cfls or 2 long tube flourecents. Thi is just a quick fix not a perment veg cab. It is for a lo budget for one month. Flower room is done with 400 watt hid:fire::?:

I now got to cool white i thin 6500k bulbs , cfls, going one over each plant. I still need more. I looked at t12 lights beacsue of the size and the price and each bulb i found out is only a depreing 900 lumens. I cannot howver find those screw in lights that let u hang three bulbs in there. I did ee those fuxtures for the wall with three ights. Is that what peeps are using in their journals? DO i have to rewire it to a houshold plug myself. I once eas an elctrician of sorts so i ok with that. Just wanna make surei get the right stuff. Oh yeah, i got a 400 600 1200 microscope kit with all the fixings just now at a thrift shop for 5 bucks. I alsogot a mcirowave presure cooker for 2 dollars. Thats how i beleive u make canna oil.

do a mix , they will give you the best but I would perfer CFLs for veg all the way unless you want less wattage in your veg and put it into your flowering then tubes might be better but CFLs might have a lower wattage then CFLs so check it out first

id get a 250 or 400 hps for 12/12.
and use flos for vegg.
using flos for 12/12 esp. cheap ones isnt very good.
you wont get much bud from the cheap flos.
