BANG FOR THE BUCK!

So Im a new grower! A friend gifted some amazing seeds and I decided to give it a shot!
Planning on having a 30”x18”x36” tent for mothers so I can take cuts from! How many can I successfully have under 50W t5? Can I leave the mothers in solo cups or a 1gallon work better. Hope anyone can help out! Thanks!!

Depends on the amount of mothers and bulbs on the t5, but 4 under a 4 ft 4 bulb t5 is good, definitely jump up from the solo cups to a 1gal at least, if you want to keep the moms around for more cuts without replacing them go to a two gallon.
