I have a 3 x 3 x 3 tent I plan on using for vegetating. I have a T5 Grow Light 2 Foot 8 Bulb Lamp Fixture HO Fluorescent Bloom Veg 6500k. 5000 lumens I believe. Is this light satisfactory for veg'ing?
Many plants means many different canopy heights, which is hard when the bulbs are straight...
Furthermore with differing canopy heights with low watt T5 bulbs means light/photons will degrade much faster
You're fine for as many plants as you want to fit in there. The downside of T5's is lack of penetration and that's not a factor in veg. Vegging plants love T5's. I know great growers that grow start to finish with T5's and have amazing results.
I personally veg plants up to 20" without a problem.
Thanks for the input. I want to use the 3 x 3 x 3 for veging. I have a 55" X 55" X 79" tent with a 1000 watt MH Bulb for flowering. hope to keep a few mother plants for vegating also in the smaller tent.
