hey all, I am brand new to the forum and had a few questions about my set up! This isnt my first grow, but i figured it would probably be the best place to start...here we go...

I have a indoor set up going, my grow area is about 2 feet by 4 feet, i am using 4 of the T12 fluorescent tubes with 2 shop light fixtures mounthed to some ply wood (so it looks like a 4 bulb unit), then suspended. The bulbs I am using are 6500K Daylight bulbs and I am running a 18/6 light cycle. I plan on switching to 3000K Kitchen and bath bulbs when it comes time for my flowering stage. My grow area ranges in temperature from about 70 degrees to 80 degrees, and every thing is coverd in mylar.

Also, I am just using several different strains of bagseed that I have aquired.

I was wondering what to expect from this kind of set up and if anyone could give me any pointers or help or anything? Thanks alll! I look forward to positive feed back, I have been checkin out the forums foreveR!

A t-12 set up is cheap and works.

I have this set up I use from time to time.



They can grow into it for a few hours to a day they stay cool.

My set up is (4) 24" T-12's 20 watts each at 6500k it's a light blanket.

I also have some 2600ish k's (don't use but may add to my hps room for some side lights).
These thing may be old school but you can not f--- it up.



I have vegged to 18" and was very happy.
