I have these coralife t8 lights that used to be on a saltwater tank. Just wondering if these can be used you grow cannabis. It's a 48 inch long double bulb.

It would be good for germinating seedlings or rooting clones.

These are t8 HO (high output) I think they are capable of putting out 50 to 60 watts per flouresent bulb. I just have to play with the light spectrum.

Yes they will work great but you would like to add a couple t5 bulbs and keep plants small short and trained to an even canopy.
Before LEDs people grew good weed with florescent lights, led is better but you can start low aim high later.
Use all 6000k spectrum flower and veg.

I have 2 bloom plus led lights with those Samsung led but who knows. They are running great so far. Just asking if those other lights will help with flowering. I plan on flipping on Saturday. Fingers crossed.

You made your post sound like it was your sole light lol. Yeah. It won’t hurt anything. Might add heat

Sorry for the little info. I'm always forgetting to show the full picture. BTY what would be the best placement for to 6 inch clip on fans. I also have a large isolating fan doing most of the work.

Here's my whole setup. The other clip on fan is behind the plant on the left.

You can get a gram a watt on t5's but there more for the dedicated as I too would recommend LEDs.
They will fit in nicely with the LEDs if the tent is long enough to accept them. I'd run them out to the sides and lower than the LEDs since they aren't very penetrating.

looks nice. I let my t5s sit around for the summer for the heat. bit in the winter I REALLY like it as my led will make the tent to cold for my clones. people really like to use t5s as side lighting to.
