I am buying 50 clones, they will be between 4-8inches tall. I need to grow them to be able to cut atleast 2-3 clones from each. The problem is all I have/can use are 4 4" T5 flourescents, Will this be sufficient to grow my clones to the height/size where I can clone off them to the degree I need to?

Also how long do you guys think it would take to get them to the size I can clone them at under that lighting? 2 weeks? 3 week?

Thanks guys!!!

Also if anyone has any recomendations for a controller that can control the humidity/co2/temp of a room that would be great. I know I need some sort of controller, a c02 tank and a co2 tank controller and monitor, but i dont know which one, same goes for the humidifier/dehumidifier

I have a 4' 4 bulb T5 for my clones, mothers, and seedlings and my plants love it. It gives a much more even distribution of light compared to CFL's. you can definitely veg your clones big enough to clone though. t5's the shit for vegging. so glad I picked mine up

I use t5s i,on my veg room and my clones and mothers grow good. T5s are slow growing so dont expect them to grow fast I use 3000 and 6400k bulbs for an enhanced spectrum

I don't know about slow. mine seem to grow pretty fast. 20,000 lumens does the trick.

I also use one 3000k bulb in conjunction with the other three 6400k bulbs :blsmoke:

i use those t-5 bulbs to root my clones and they work great... i have never tried to veg them with them but i would assumer 3 weeks plus if u want to get 2/3 cloines off each clone.... dont forget bud have sub par lights will mostly likly result in sub par clones and potentially sub par yeild....

what light are u using for bloom? if its an hps u can veg with it as welll and u will get better results then veging with t-5's....
