t5 for veggin 6 plants

[scotsman]

1 x T5 96w in a small veg chamber be enough to veg 6 plants? Been reading about them and my veg chamber is just wide enough to fit in. Anyone use one this size for vegging.......ta
I know id be better with a 300 cfl but just trying to cut costs

I use something very similar it's a 2 x 55w mother light which is ok for 5 or 6 for a couple of weeks & then hit them with 600hps..

So do u hit them with the 600 to finish vegg or just put them to flower with 600

I give them a couple of weeks under the cfl & then hit them with 600 ds hps throughout the whole grow, usually 4/5 weeks veg.

Do u think if i boosted it with another 60w strips lights out a bq it would be better, the lights i saw were about thue width ok my t5 was thinking setting them up on the front and backwall of my cabinet.

More light = more bud so I'd say yes.. Personally I'd got for 250 hps..

Good luck
