Hello I'm looking for a way to speed my process up by doin a small veg room separate from flower room.
I will be doin 30 plants and they will be put in 1.5ltr/2lts pots once they have roots coming threw the cutting plugs.
I was hoping to veg them in this room for about 4 weeks I was just wondering what light would be best to do this the room is about 2 meters / 2 meters

I don't want spend loads lol

But I was thinking a couple CFL lights but was told They won't be any gd

I've herd t5 will be gd enough

Now I'm thinking of just putting a 600w over them with a dimmable ballast so as they get bigger I can up the wattage as I said I'm just looking to get them about 12-18 inches then flowering them

Thanks for the replies !! :)

You honestly don't even need to dim the ballast, unless you're restricted on hieght and you have young plants. Depending on environment, start at 36" and watch for stretch. Hand above the canopy trick is good way to know where the light should probably be. I start seeds and clones under a 600 with no problem at decent distance

You want to do 30 plants into flower at 18 inches in 2 liter pots under cfls, or maybe a 600 watt hps..?

Maybe forget about cfls competly and also try to cut your plant numbers in half. Then half again. Even under a 1000watt hps 12 plants is cramped.
