I may be using 4 foot fluorescent lights for my first grow due to money issues and was wondering what kind of bulbs to get for vegg/flower

A t-12 set up is cheap and works.

I have this set up I use from time to time.



They can grow into it for a few hours to a day they stay cool.

My set up is (4) 24" T-12's 20 watts each at 6500k it's a light blanket.

I also have some 2600ish k's (don't use but may add to my hps room for some side lights).
These thing may be old school but you can not f--- it up.

10 plants... no way man.. .not if you want any quality. 10 plants is just too much for a low budget deal...

unless you flower them early and only get 5-10 grams per plant.

I have a t-5 High Output Fluoro and its just enough for three. I mean you can do more... but you will produce very little bud and little trich production.
I honestly think you would be much better off doing just a couple plants at a time if all you have is regular cool tubes. You will get much better quality bud that way.
