I have a small grow box and I was thinking of buying a T5 grow light. I was thinking of a 2ft x 4bulb. so would that be good enough for 1 plant. I have a indica fruity chronic juice, she is 4 weeks old, I been vegging her under 4x26watt 6500k CFLs. so would a 2ft X 4bulb T5 be enough light and would it be worth the money? any help would be great.

Do a search here for T5s. Someone did one recently. Turned out great, but I believe he used aquarium bulbs for optimal spectrums

I have a 2x4 T5. I use it for rooting clones. I've not tried it for flowering. You can get a 150 watt HPS for about $75. That would work much better for flowering.

PetFlora speaks true. I used the "LED without LEDs" thread to spec aquarium bulbs for a 4-bulb 2-foot fixture. It worked lovely for veg and reveg. More expensive than 6500s, but more use from your juice! cn

I agree with the last couple posts. If you have to use a little 24" t5 light then you might as well get the most out of it.
Buying spectrum specific bulbs will pay for itself in 1 crop. If you get an extra Q it pays for those 4 bulbs.
Post up some pics so we can see the setup.
