- Thread starter stingray

I can use two, its only until i can up and move everything outside...
If i get two, could you possibly recommend the best one i could get for use in an aquarium light fixture?

Yea, aquarium lights are perfect. They're designed to penetrate water, I'm sure air will be no problem. 
Yeah, i just thought it would not be enough watts, its only 15w? I'm not sure how many lumens or what part of the spectrum its in... All the lights i have now don't work, what color should i get? I could mix two different lights too...Yea, aquarium lights are perfect. They're designed to penetrate water, I'm sure air will be no problem.
Yeah, 6500k lights? Can you get those at hardware stores? I can only veg them until like 1- 1.5 feet tall? Should i do 12/12 lighting or just 24 because i don't have a timer. All in time though i guess?

Sounds like a good idea. Just watch out for BUGS! They can devastate a plant in a day(especially leaf eaters like grasshoppers!).
I still kill every grasshopper I see to this day for eating the STEMS off 4 plants(with leafs mostly intact). Karma is a BITCH! lol

Whats a good idea? 12/12 lighting from the get go or 24? I'd like a quick grow as opposed to a good yielding grow.

I'd go with tried and true 18/6 or 20/4. I'm personally using 12/4(16 hour periods) just for fun.
15w will sprout and grow a plant for maybe 6". I'd go CFL, if I were you, for ease and cost reasons. 26w Ge Daylight packs at Walmart are cheap. 2 can grow several plants to about 1 foot with a reflector.
