7' x 7' area for 12 mothers in 5 gallon buckets doing Ebb and Flow, which lights?

Hi all,

Planning on building my own ebb and flow system, similar to the ebb and grow. I want to use 5 gallon buckets to house my mothers in a 7' x 7' area, with a little of room to walk in between them.

I would like to use T5's. Should I get two 4' 4 bulb T5's, or do I need more?

I will be using these take cuttings from them once every 1-2 weeks. I would like to get cuttings off them every week. That's my goal.

Will I be good with my suggestion above, or do I need more/less lights?

All suggestions are welcome. Thank you very much in advance.

Depends on how many cuttings you want. If this is for a sog where you will need a lot a cuttings I would go for 240w or 400w hps. But if its just for a few, that should be alright.

id say at least 2 6 bulb t5 setups, even better id be going for 2 1000w mh on light movers. All depends on budget and how fast you want to grow! there is no comparison to metal halide
