Question about T8 Fixtures...

Is 2 15W 4600k daylight T8 fluorescent tube fixtures adequate for supporting six clones and one small mother plant? or should I go for one fixture?

They are small reptile tank lights I got from the local pet store.

yeah for a few weeks you'll be good, but once those clones start growing they're gonna need more light. Cfl's are great. they are super cheap and they work. P.S. The Big Lebowski is the shit. I've watched that movie at least a few hundred times since 1998. Gimme a Caucasian Gary...

Well I am using these lights in one chamber of a 3-chamber grow cab. I just need to know if two 15W T8s' will be enough light to keep everything growing with no massive stretching...It's only going to house the clones until they are rooted and moved into the veg chamber and to keep the mother alive for new clones.




They pee'd on your fucking rug, dude...Didnt that rug really tie the room together? lol

I use 1 23 watt cfl in a cooler to root my clones (8-10). I didn't have the moms under there though. Every time a rug is micturated upon in this fair city I have to compensate the person?

Well Its going to perpetually house 6 clones (from cutting to roots) every 14 days. The mother will remain in her pot rootbound as a vessel for cuttings. Well its good to know that should suffice seeing as that I cannot find fluorescent tube fixtures that are less than 24" in length...

...you see what happens Larry?!?!? You see what happens when you fuck a stranger in the ass?!?!?!?...
