Hello fellow forum members, I have lived in the Great State of California most of my life and have been completely oblivious to the medical benefits offered by cannabis. This past year I was in a sever motorcycle accident, after a large quantity of medic opinions as to which pills I should or should not be taking for pain management the rest of my life, I confronted my doctor and told him I didn't want to be strung out on pills and I pleaded with him to find an alternative, long story short, I have been issued my MMP license. I have decided to try and grow a small amount of medicine for myself being that I am currently unable to work and have limited amounts of money. I have googled till my fingers are numb, and trolled forum after forum however I can not find a definitive answer. I am simply seeking Information regarding lighting for veg only. First i will give you a small amount of information to what I have and am currently using then I will give you my questions (thanks in advance to all who can help)
1 GHS The Church
2 48" t12 two bulb fixture (6500k)
1 3X4x8 closet
I currently growing 1 seedling as this is my first grow and I know relatively nothing short of what I read being that I have no experience. Here are my questions
1.) is using a single t12 fixture sufficient to veg the seedling? if so how big should I allow it to get before using the other fixture? Or should I just hook them both up and run them no matter?
2.) Would I be better off running a few high powerd CFLs? are there any difference in growth rates between say a 210w cfl and 4 t12 40w bulbs?
3.) I dont really have the money but if necessary would I be better of buying a t5 fixture? say 2-4 bulbs for vegging?
Bonus.) Are there any real significant advantages of one bulb over the others? if so, What? I have been trying to research this as much as I cant however most of the information available on the internet seems to be simple "Hey bro nice set up" "gee thanks man"
+Rep for anyone who can take the time to give me some straight facts, again, thank you in advance.
