Ok so I’m running a 4x4 tent w 2 qb 288 3500k 6’ fan exhaust soil w nutrient based

I recentley received banana og from a close friend who is heavy in the community he received word of my favorite term profile and I told him if I could get any cut it’s be that and behold a day later he gifted me banana og and told me if I’m serious have everything I need now

problem is I’m ready to flip to flower in 3g pots So my tent is filled I currently have the clone in the tent and transferred intob1 gallon pot as I am in veg and will be another week and a half w other plants what should Ido to keep this clone through veg or at least enough to grab some clones off it it myself? One idea I had was to buy a cheap led light in which is the reason I posted thread but wanted to know how
watts or lumens does one plant need?
I have a sliding closet I would put light in there and just the clone just through flower

WHAT WOULD MY OPTIONS BE!!

damn that was quick and thanks alot i do most of my ordering off of amazon as i receive it quicker due to where i live is this an item i have to get elsewhere? @Airwalker16
 
Weird, you tagged me but i never got a.notification.

Yeah, as aw16 said 4000k is whats usually recommended. Maybe not a full 60w for a small plant.
 
Ok good bc I seen some of them under 60 watt idk I just need the plant to be sufficient and chess til this harvest I want plant to gro to tak cuttings eventually so t5 I eem w bc I can also use for clones seen this if you have recommendation on point I’ll go w that @Rocket Soul

Also found this one I’m more comfortable w this one but it’s 2900k warm light and I know cook is better but this should do me good for about 30 das. Will this one allows me to use it for cloning as well w it 2900k @Airwalker16

I mean 3000K will definitely work, but its really a big difference in structure with the 4000K. Look around a little more and see what you can find. You can use screw in bulbs too. Don't feel like you're locked in to the t5 form factor. I honestly reccomend a few separate SMALLER fixtures so you can hang each one at the height it's needed at. A t5 is long and really can't be hung to accommodate 2 different height plants. Which, trust me, gets annoying as Fuck.

Really, I'd advise you to just get yourself a few individual sockets wired to their own individual cord/plug and use 4000K bulbs in them so you can hang them wherever you need.
 
This is actually kinda cool,


But I'm thinking more so, INDIVIDUAL sockets with their own plugs. Like this:


And as far as bulbs go.... Well.... Amazon's an ocean of options there... Don't think you need help finding some 4000K E26/27 LED Bulbs.

Why are you more comfortable with this if I may ask?
It's the same price when you include shipping and it's got a normal fluorescent t5 in it. Not to mention it's only ONE BULB rather than 2 on the other one.
 
@Airwalker16 I’m not set or interested in them they came uo first so I ran w it honestly I just want to lean learn and then when I’m done learn some more if u have a better thought in which I assume the info I just gave me was it I’m gonna run w it thing is I’m going to order today so wanting to narrow it down the sooner I order the sooner I can got on w the program I’m wavy to the listing u just put me on looked at then and if ur saying this will work I’m all in and will order like I said the goal is to get the plant out the tent I don’t have another tent but don’t mind hanging a light I’ve ther plant dedicating it to just that plant as long as the plant will grow I do t see the point in buying a qb for a plant but will if I absolutely have to

Honestly, if you wanna buy a QB go for it. The drivers what makes it costly. That's why suggested some led bulbs hung on sockets.
