up for grabs....do they work just the same..i can pretty much move the plant towards the light. would two tubes be enough for 5 plants. or should i buy some cfl's to hang
Similar setup with 2 tubes + 4 cfls and a molasses micro nutr mix. great results so far!!good question. i've been wondering for quite a while why i hear so little about tubes. it seems that everyone is convinced that cfls are the way to go. and maybe they are but with the results i've been getting i would disagree. i have 2 48" fixtures for my ladies right now with 2 60 watt high output tubes in each and have been getting great results. from initial sprout to about 24" is taking me an average of 3 1/2 weeks. and i've been getting about an ounce a plant on a 3 month grow cycle. not great but not bad either considering my size of space restrictions. each fixture cost me $20 with the ballasts and the tubes run me $4 each.
