Bloom an lighting question...?

Thank you to everyone that has replied to my past threads with such good feed back so yet I post another lol so I have one more question. Ok so right now I have this mother plant under a T8warm fluorescent 32watts 2800 lumens color temp 3000k an one T8 daylight fluorescent 32watts 2700 lumens color temp 6500k now I have another shop light like that but using it for my clones now if I take the one warm from the one shop light so I'll have 2 warm for bloom will that be enought to bloom an will 2 daylights be enough for my clones thanks again.....

So let me get this straight, you wanna flower under 2 T8's? That ain't gonna get ya much.

Ok so should I use 4 T8 then or that still won't be enough

you can flower vegg with t12 t8 t5 all flourescents even with 6500 white warm light they just florish in a good red amber 3000 3500 kind of light like a good hps but i use a t5 and t8 and the t12 works the same t5 is the best one though. wish i had a huge one but i dont it be just longer to grow is all with weak lighting hope this helps later

if cfl works why wouldnt the big shop flourscents right there you go it will grow them flower them just slower

Thanks bro but I know the shop light ballist is for T8's bit can I put a T5 in there or would I either burn out the bulb or the ballist...an are 4T8's enough for one plant at 32watts 2800 lumens an 3000K thanks

For flower you need at least 5000 lumens per square foot to get a decent yield. So 2 bulbs is about 5000 lumens spread over a four foot length. maybe if you get about 10 of em you will get some return for your effort. If you use florescent keep em just an inch or 2 from the tops of the plants. Good luck

Ok im flowering right now with one t5 and it works great if you know how to tie the
