Okay.

How many plants for how long? It matters.

A single tube will do a starter tray for 2 weeks with 24 plants. And 2 will carry you until they should be under real lights. All kinds of less than believed set ups here.

Forget the look at me factor, price. Know your grow. Form an honestly do able plan and build from there. I don't have 5G in all my gardening exploits.

I’m doing 12 plants. Not sure how long.. I’m getting the 7” tall dome. Maybe 3 weeks to out grow that until I put them in 5 gallon pots under 1000 watt MHs

Before I part. I and others are just trying to put your feet on the ground. Hope your head is attached. It is not about brands or bucks. It is understanding a plant and how it honestly works before getting crazy. We all did it. Are embarrassed, ashamed and just just pissed for our costly ignorance. And we attempt to help dozens daily only to be scoffed at or misunderstood.

Hit me up if you don't succeed. Your ears will be more in tune then. I've been there.

Honest peace and best wishes.

I use a 4 ft 4 bulb HO T5. The HO means High Output. Each bulb is 54 watts yet you can still get them really close. They are good enough to veg for a while. Use the 6500K bulbs. Good luck.
