Light options for seedling and veg.

[Cm3000]

Hi! I have 3 plants that broke soil 3 days ago. I am growing outdoors but it’s been very cloudy and rainy. Could you guys help me decide on a t5 setup for days when the sun isn’t out? Would something like this work up until the flowering stage or should I look for something with higher watt? Thanks!!

Cool blue spectrum, looks good to keep em going.

Can link up to eight off one fixture, would suggest get as many as you are able but get them in 2's or 4's for flexibility in placing them.

I would use 8 in my 50cm*90cm tent.
Good luck.

Thanks for the input. I was second guessing them because I felt the wattage was pretty low.

Forgot to say, don't use all eight if you get them all, probably start at a couple feet n check for stretch.
Btw you will need much more light to flower.

I was thinking about getting 2 of those and ordering a nice light. Do you think 2 of those lights would be sufficient for 3 plants in veg state?

They don't need much to start and going full out needs to be controlled increase. Depending on your space, how fast etc would suggest a little research for what you've got coming...

Yes, 3 seedlings till week 3
After that.....
No, don't think so. I would go 100w bare minimum (if only for keeping em growing (I use 200w led for veg prolly fit 4 x 12l pots and a clone box)
