I use 4-t8's and a single t5 total watts 178. A bit light on wattage but its what I use because its what I have. These t5's come in under your $40 cap in Canadian dollars.
Thank you much appreciated! I haven't bought any inna while so I was curious of what has worked well recently for others. I'll check those out, how have they worked for you as far as longevity & keeping the ladies happy? Other than what you were saying about the wattage. Right now i run one 600w MH in a 4x4x7 veg (also looking for some led possibly to supplement in that room), so theyd eventually be going into that from whatever I setup in this room. Also if the consensus is some really badass setup, im slightly flexible on budget. Keyword slightly lol.
They work really well and last, I have an endless supply of t8 lamps and fixtures but I'd go with t5's if I had to buy lights, I veg for months sometimes and the penetration of light through the canopy after 2+ months isn't very good so I add a few cfl's and a new led I just bought to supplement florescent and add some side lighting. I vegged this girl for 4 months
Its a Cherry Bomb from Bomb seeds I love the smell and taste of her. Just like women lol It's an indica cross of something or another. I don't know much about strains or crosses. I got them cheap $35/5 and I like em so I've got some clones off her doing well. Yes its a 5 gallon but only because shes so old otherwise I just use 3 gallon. I flipped her about a week ago so around New Years. There's a youtube video of making reflectors out of 4-6" ducting you might want to look at with those lights if you don't have anything.
Thank ya! Yep haven't run clones inna while so I've long since sold all id need lightwise. Ive got quite a bit of extra 6" ducting layin around, ill check the video out. Its about time vs cost 4 me too. Ive got kiddos so not a whole buncha spare time and if its not too outrageous for a new reflector I may just spring the cash for one. But if it doesnt look like a huge time investment to make one when I watch the video, I may do that instead. I do appreciate all the help from ya both! And @PipeCarver yep my ladies r showin out, been spittin preflowers for several weeks now lol and been constant wantin insane amounts of flowerin nutritions (well nutritions period really, guess thats anything OG related 4 ya) i tell em every day patience ladies but now ive gotta weekend 2 myself so i def gotta do it! Hows the cherry bomb on her yield & thc avgs?
I don't weigh my stuff I just fill jars so no real idea of yield, This is a pick of one before I chopped it last grow.
