    Default T5 Lights Question

    Just on my first grow here and started off with a T5 light with 2 x 24Watt bulbs 3300 lumens. 2 Plants under them in a 0.9x0.9x1.85m tent and just wondering if this is enough as one is an Autoflower and I've heard you have limited time to veg the plant. Do I have enough power or have I bolloxed this up already? I do have an HPS but was worried about powering that beauty up at this early stage. 2 Weeks in.

    Cheers geezers.

    Get the HPS up & running mate... Always start autos at full power...

    MC Thanks for the tip buddy. Any idea what distance to put it from the plant, I've also got a photoperiod in there at 2 weeks. I know this is probably not ideal, school boy error. Will the photo be fine under the HPS too?

    You will need extraction if you're using a hps in the tent.

    Don't cook your plants dude.

    As for distance. Start about 3 feet and then let them grow up to it. Use a dual spec bulb.
