What are some good lights i can use to mother out some plants? Planning on taking cuts from my seedlings and mothering them out for my next run. Let me know what lights you guys use for ur mothers.

Clone/veg spaces don't require a lot of light to get good growth.
Plenty of folks use fluorescents, simple and inexpensive.
I use one of my old 4000kQB V1 boards in my clone tent, and it rocks.
Plan on 15 watts/ sq ft for top-tier diodes or 25 watts/ sq ft for older tech blurples or fluorescents.

Ya, I use the V1's in 5000k. Way better than the T5's I used before. The T5's would make them lanky, even within 2 inches over the canopy.

Yea i use the luxx lights for my clone. They are specifically made for clones and they work really good. You think i could use lights like those to mother my plants out as well?
