Hello, I'm a newbie.. I'm trying to get all of my equipment and I already have my reflective mylar, but I also have a blue Philips fluorescent lamp. I'm gonna use autoflowering seeds (Royal Dwarf from Royal Queen Seeds) and put 2 plants in a PC Grow Box wich I'm trying to build right now.. I wanted to ask 2 things:
1) If I use this blue fluorescent light, and then switch to LEDs, would it be ok for the plant? I know that autos don't really have veg period, but I was thinking about using this for the first 3-4 weeks and then switch.
2) If I switch to LEDs, would 3x4.5Watt (80 Leds each) be ok for a PC Grow Box? [The LEDs will be Red-Blue, bought from EBAY(Heard that they are not well because they're cheap, but if you have used them, please tell me their deficiencies!)] I have read previous threads but couldn't really tell when someone was right - all these different opinions.. That's why I would like to hear from someone that has personal experience..
Thanks in advance, any advice accepted, even those who are going to refer to my bad English!
