Question about Fluorescent Lights

[LaserKittensGoPewPew]

I have one other question that has been making me laugh all day. When you say Laserkittensgopewpew does anybody think "stinky pussy" :rofl: And don't go getting pist at me laserkitty...I'm just saying...it's pretty funny I think. Later all.

haha nah, your the first person to mention that to me actually. I think most people think of the sounds from star wars when they shoot their laser guns. At least that's what I think of in my own head.

Floyd if you are looking to veg only one or two plants all you need is one fixture and 2 bulbs. If you can do some basic wiring, you can make a 24" light fixture that will have room for 2, 20 Watt, T12 tubes. The entire getup with bulbs and a cord would cost you about $40 and you can get everything you need at Home Depot or Lowes. This will give you very cool light that you can put within 1" of the plant. It will provide enough light to get 1 or 2 plants through their vegetative growth phase. Understand that if you don't get more lights for flowering you are wasting your time and money, because you will need another 4 setups like this one for flowering (or 1 HID fixture). Plus you will need ventilation and odor control. If you want the parts list and directions on how to build the fixture let me know.

I ended up getting 10 26watt 1600 lumens 6500K cool white ones. And I'm pretty sure I'm going to get an HID light for when I begin flowering. But, please do send me a part list for what I'd need to make that setup because I ended up putting a payment on a new apartment today, so I'm going to need a more efficiant setup down the road.
