So I've been doing a lot of thinking and I can't run out of my own crop again. I had to buy some badder from my old connect since I can't run oil with my foot all banged up and now that I know how it
should be I can't even tolerate this stuff. Rips up my throat and makes me cough. I realized I can't even just go buy a QP of decent chronic from someone and run my own oil because I can't trust how they grew or cared for the plants....SO.
This crop is just barely started and I only have enough tree left from last harvest to do about one maybe two more small runs of my own oil so I have several months of disappointing dabbing to look forward to. Anyways....
I've been holding off on buying another tent to separate flower/veg or building a little flower or lung room for two reasons:
1) As long as I'm here I'll be growing in a tent in a non-climate controlled garage and after my first grow I've decided I'll never flower in May-Oct out there again
2) We rent here, and we've already outgrown the space (4 of us) I don't want to invest a great deal of time setting up a perpetual grow just to move out (even if I could take it with me). Also, back to point one, why set up a second tent or grow space if I'm just gonna shut down flowering for several months due to heat etc.
That being what it is I'm going to maximize the room I have in my tent by making sure I have new plants ready or almost ready to go into flower as soon as my current plants (seedlings) are harvested.
I want to set up a little seedling/clone bench area to get other plants started in and wondering what the consensus was for lighting etc for that stuff. Like is it a waste of money to buy something like this:

I'm sure their are some cheap Chinese lights on Amazon that would be perfect for this sort of thing but I'd have no idea how to identify them - but open to suggestions!
The other things I hear the most about is T5 fluorescents and CFLs - they seem to be cheaper and possibly the easier/best solution? Something like this, I think I heard with cool white 30-ish watt CFL bulbs?:

Looks like they want more for small T5 fixtures....must be because people use them to grow pot:
