[mushroom man]

yea they r good for clones and seedling ,try and get 5000k and up for veging and 2700k for budin

 

[hughesresearch]

for starting clones and seeds, yes, for flowering-id still suggest a hps.

T5's work great, or one warm white one cool white tube together not as intense but still works

i use only fluorescent for seedling and cloning, but you will eventually need to up it to HPS with blue spectrum when flowering...

 

[mushroom man]

hps would be the best thing for flowering but hps is a red lamp mh r the blue specturm

I use this one for my seedlings - cheap and works well http://www.1000bulbs.com/product/8256/FC105-S50OD.html 7150 lumens for less than $20 - word!

yea, also if your gonna do clones i assume youll have a mother, but i guess you might just buy clones. if you need a mother, shell need a seperate light unless the floros are strong enough. i use a 216w t-5 for the mom and clones. clones dont need alot of light so they sit 2' below the light while taking root. once they root i put them under a hps. if your buying the clones then youd just flower em.

6400k is better for veg
