Ok so I’m running a 4x4 tent w 2 qb 288 3500k 6’ fan exhaust soil w nutrient based

I recentley received banana og from a close friend who is heavy in the community he received word of my favorite term profile and I told him if I could get any cut it’s be that and behold a day later he gifted me banana og and told me if I’m serious have everything I need now

problem is I’m ready to flip to flower in 3g pots So my tent is filled I currently have the clone in the tent and transferred intob1 gallon pot as I am in veg and will be another week and a half w other plants what should Ido to keep this clone through veg or at least enough to grab some clones off it it myself? One idea I had was to buy a cheap led light in which is the reason I posted thread but wanted to know how
watts or lumens does one plant need?
I have a sliding closet I would put light in there and just the clone just through flower

WHAT WOULD MY OPTIONS BE!!

Weird, you tagged me but i never got a.notification.

Yeah, as aw16 said 4000k is whats usually recommended. Maybe not a full 60w for a small plant.

Also found this one I’m more comfortable w this one but it’s 2900k warm light and I know cook is better but this should do me good for about 30 das. Will this one allows me to use it for cloning as well w it 2900k @Airwalker16

I mean 3000K will definitely work, but its really a big difference in structure with the 4000K. Look around a little more and see what you can find. You can use screw in bulbs too. Don't feel like you're locked in to the t5 form factor. I honestly reccomend a few separate SMALLER fixtures so you can hang each one at the height it's needed at. A t5 is long and really can't be hung to accommodate 2 different height plants. Which, trust me, gets annoying as Fuck.

Really, I'd advise you to just get yourself a few individual sockets wired to their own individual cord/plug and use 4000K bulbs in them so you can hang them wherever you need.

This is actually kinda cool,


But I'm thinking more so, INDIVIDUAL sockets with their own plugs. Like this:


And as far as bulbs go.... Well.... Amazon's an ocean of options there... Don't think you need help finding some 4000K E26/27 LED Bulbs.

Why are you more comfortable with this if I may ask?
It's the same price when you include shipping and it's got a normal fluorescent t5 in it. Not to mention it's only ONE BULB rather than 2 on the other one.

Honestly, if you wanna buy a QB go for it. The drivers what makes it costly. That's why suggested some led bulbs hung on sockets.
