Is this gonna do it?

So this is my real attempt at my first indoor grow. After doing much research and yes staying up late surfing this website i decided to dive in and give her a shot.

My set up will be for 2 plants only.

Here goes. I will be running 4 T-12 Ecolux bulbs along with 2 20 watt daylight 6500k Cfl's for the veg. When i go into flowering the only bulbs i will change will be the Cfl's which then i will go with the warm whites instead of the daylight. Is this gonna do the job? And let me remind you im on a budget.

I'll try to get some pixs of my set-up if i can remember where my digital camera is at.

Thanks.

Hank.

look into t5's. im not an expert on that subject, but as far as flos go, they are supposed to be superior. and you want warm for flowering, yes.

Thanks. It seems like the T-5's are the new thing these days. Oh how i wish i could spend a few hundred on lighting.

budgetary restraints are tough but you can grow on a tight budget. if you do decide to break the bank, the two places i wouldn't scrimp is lighting and odor control (and odor control depends on your situation).

or to put it another way, i've regretted a couple of hydro system decisions but have never regretted my lights!

sorry i can't be more specific but i have no experience with florescent lights for growing.

t8s are allot cheaper than t5s and work pretty good also.... i have a 4 foot fixture with a t8 6500k and its pretty bright...... price wise.... it cost me 5 $ for 1 bulb, and 20 for a 2 bulb fixture....
