Would this provide enough light for germinating 6 flats of seeds (with dimension 10x20)

This light should do the job. For the price, two would be better. I really like the results I'm getting.

Probably not by itself it only covers about a 2'x2' area effectively, plus it puts out too much heat for germinating seeds and it is not really the correct light spectrum for germination. If it's just seed germination you are worried about some, T5 florescent fixtures would work a lot better or some CFL's (cool white for germination/veg, warm white for flowering. They do make larger T5 fixtures that hold 4 lamps. I germinate in a 2'x2'(x1ft tall) section of a grow cabinet and 2 T5s cover all my lighting needs until it's time to transplant the seedlings to the bottom area where my HPS light is.

I don't think I would provide enough coverage for that much area. Might need two,

I have 2 of them in a 10 x10 inside patio and it lights it well..they take 60 watt bulb max and mine are on dimmer switch...so depending on size of your room. I would def say you would need 2.

Depends on what and how much you're trying to grow. For one plant this is great, as the number of plants increase you will eventually need more lights.

Probably not. Plants need good light and this is not the one. Don't know of any that are better, these small tanks are probably better with artificial plants.

That will probably be most dependant on what you have in the tank. The LEDs are pretty bright and can most certainly light up a tank of the right dimensions.

Hi, I used it to germinate my superhot peppers. It covered two large flats no problem but that was at short distance.If you put it up higher it'll cover more plants.I got great results from this light and my peppers are scorching everyone that tries them.

absolutely no. Tomatoes need much more light. With 4, or even 8 bulbs they will get very tall and stringy. I wouldn't use this to grow the tomatoes more then 1 ft before getting them out side. I have a couple of these plus 4ftx 8 bulb units and they do a good job of starting them but can't be used to grow to maturity. Growing flowers is a different story ... they work great.

I think it would. I use it to study and it lights up most of my desk space.

Yes, this will light a 10x16 shed. Let us know if you have further questions.

Unlikely, unless you plan on keeping plants that thrive in low light. This light is primarily for fish only tanks, and you'll need two side by side to obtain sufficient light.

I know it is late but maybe will help someone else. If you just plan on germination and a short stay under light may want to go with a 4 bulb T8 will use only about 60% of the power. If you plan on them being under them much longer then a couple weeks then you need the extra light. I personally use 6 bulb T8 for germination over a 2' x 4' tray (4 1020s) which is about 24w per sq ft. Then for growth, which is any point past a month, 8 bulb T5 for 55w per sq ft. Keep the lights close to prevent stretch.

Well it said this light system would grow up to 10 plants but I'm not sure bout that . I tried 10 but it's pushing it . I've went down to 6 now so 6 to 8 should be ok

Plenty of light for that depth. I would say enough for medium plants. You could probably also do the ray2 if looking for more alternatives.

No, this doesn't have much power and it's a pretty small beam of light. You'd need several of these to get enough light for that purpose, in my opinion.

I use a 6500K bulb and I find it works well. However, I also rotate my seedlings (flowers, fruits, and vegetables) into the sunlight. It really depends on the light color, the reflector, and the output.

yes it will, will cover 6x4 area very well, keep plants short to take advantage of keeping light close to canopy, taller the plants, the less light that reaches bottom branches, i prefer 2 dimmable 600s over one thousand watt, two lights almost doubles cover area unlike 1000s, budget wise, this one should be more than enough to get a decent amount of bud,of course, unless you grow indoor before, dont expect to grow like a pro the first few crops, its like riding a bike, got to learn to pedal before you can wheelie, live and learn, your crops will only get better with experience... good luck... p.s. buy a grow book or 2 and check out youtube, sometimes you can find a lot of use full info there....the more you know.. the better you grow...

I am currently using this light to grow African violets and orchids. I think it has a high enough light output to grow vegetables but keep in mind that the peak light area for the light is only 2 foot by 3 foot. One large tomato plant can take up that much space.
