What's your budget?
No real budget, but I'm pretty practical. I always try to get the highest quality (usually based on specs) for the lowest price. I figure a 2x2 for $50, and as for the light, It would have to be low enough wattage to keep heat under control, but powerful enough to flower and produce viable seeds. Would a 2x2 4 bulb T5 be sufficient? I can grab one for about $70. I have a fan to exhaust if needed. Seems to be the most practical for the mission at hand. I would love to do a diy cob build, but am not there yet, and a hid seems like overkill. I have a 4x8 w/ 2x600 , 4x4 w/ 1x600 and a 2x4 w/ 4bulb t5. Would a couple hundred dollar LED do a better job for this purpose of making beans? Heat would be my main concern I'm guessing in a tent this size.

I would do a 150 or 250 watt hps if you want to do it that cheap. A 150 can be picked up for $60-80 and and 250 for about $100. They'll give you way more light/yield than the t5s.

That being said, the t5s would work.

Thanks for the great idea. That got me thinking. I'm just going to stick a cooltube up in there with a 250 and run a fan through it. I have the tubes and fans, so just need the bulb and ballast. Same cost, much better results. Thanks for the tip. Great minds...

Got 18 of my Sweet Skunk/Blueberry x C99 on the go. Hope they turn out better than my Northern Lights x Romulan Diesel lol. In hindsight I should have germed some Des Tar x C99 as well.

culled the 2 fugly ones after snapping the pic. So 16 now.

damn man they're already dead. 8) haha I germed a few more than I needed so some had to go.

des tar x C99?...you got some mad chucks happening bro!
Yeah I'm a noob man Idk why I did 18 of 1 and none of the other. Would have made more sense to do like 9 of each right? I was high haha.

next chuck coming up, not sure what to use. UW Black x Dragonsblood f3 or Huckleberry Space Queen. I guess I'll have to see what the dudes end up being.

I should have cracked something else for more variety. Too much C99 in there lol.

Whichever male(s) I chose, I'll dust the following

Jabbas Stash
Sweet Skunk x C99
SkunkBerry x C99
Huckleberry Space Queen
UW x Dragonsblood f3


Straight up chucks just for fun at this point. Going to try to build a stable of a few good cuts and then hopefully I'll have proper space to find a proper dude. Sitting on some fire packs for sure. :)

4 cxb 3590 would do Wonder and cost you around 400$ with growmau5 kit on cutter.au 200 w but very good for veg and harvest if I should estimate imo it would be the same as a 400w hps but without the Heat and they can get closerie to the canopy leaving with more heights space

200w COBs will produce better quality and denser nugs than a 400watts but to match the yield you are looking at 300watts of COBs i m o
