I need help in finding a new light source for my new seedlings. The one I have just it’s doing the job. I would like to get something from Lowe’s, Home Depot or Walmart if possible. Thanks again for all the help

I prefer a curly cfl bulb of around 14w for seedlings. I use it in an old desk lamp and can easily cover 5-6 seedlings in solo cups until they're about ready to transplant into pots.
Don't mind the mess but here's a quick shot of the babies I have going now. I've started a crapload of plants with this single 14w cfl bulb. It costs almost nothing to run, takes up very little spade and doesn't require hanging. You can set this up anywhere.
They're fine under this light until they're about this big. The measuring cup is in the photo to illustrate how I water from the bottom once they're growing to encourage downward root growth without soaking the whole cup. I just fill the measuring cup up about halfway and gently dunk the cups in it and allow the water to seep in through the holes I've made.

I have to go with t5's. I've done some great vegging with 2 - 2' lights. The picture is of my first grow with t5's, and what it became under a 300w LED. I eventually went up to 3 - t5 lights.2 PhotosLast edited by Gingerbeard; 04-16-2020, 03:29 PM.C'mon, mule!
