Will this work for two plants ?

It will grow 1 plant, but yield will be dissapointing and a waste of time, it will be good for vegging established clones with the light about 3 - 4 inches away.

I dont mean to rain on your parade, but when it comes to flowering, you need atleast 50watts of LED per square foot to have some nice results and decent yield.

Peace to all and happy growing.

Agree 100%.

If you are looking to go LED, the lowest and cheapest I can think of is the 90w "UFO." I have one I use for clones, but even that would barely flower 2 small plants, and the buds will still be loose.

You might want to look into CFLs also.

My recommendation is save yourself the trouble and save your money until you can get a HID. I think they sell them as low as 150w - 200w

Its a cool setup, Those bulbs are not cheap either. Aren't some of those bulbs 30-60 bucks a pop? It might be wiser to just buy an led panel at that price

If you got those same ones, I'd try to find some 6500k panels too. That's all 3000-3500k there on your setup. That's essentially a flowering panel.

well actually mine are not exactly those. I have 5 white bulbs. 3 warm white and two blue. I'm sure these lamps work pretty good for veg but not sure about flowering since last time my plant turned out male.
