is this light gonna work? :S

i have 2 fluoro tubes 32" 30w 2200 lumens cool white. are these lights gonna be enough to make it threw the veggie stage? or are they not strong enough?

might be a little weak.......keep 'em a mm from the tips and veg for no mre than a few weeks.....probably be ok

I'd assume that would be too weak to veg em. that might work for clones but beond that they are gonna STRETCH and thats not what you want. get a CFL its 30$ and is 5000 lumens at about 85watts. get 1 or even better 2 of em. what are you going to flower under??good luck.

gona be flowering under 400W hps

a nice option might also be a High-Output Floro like the T-5s

I use them to veg clones for about 7 days prior to flower......works well on 6" plants

All I use for vegging is flouro tubes. I have 2 fixtures with (2) 4' flouro tubes each. Each fixture has 1 soft white and 1 daylight bulb in it. This has worked great for me. I can fit 32 clones under them on my veg table and I veg them to 24" before flowering them. I do a perpetual grow and stagger the clones so I have a steady supply of 24" clones ( + or - a couple of inches) for each cycle.

Guess i need to remember to post the picture

first off i gotta say i looked at ur grow room. im using 2x T-8 bulbs in a fixture growin from seed.

Yeah, high output fluorescents are the shit, but the one's you have will work... Keep them really close.
