Yeah my veg sure seems slow under my T5HOs... I'm using 2x 2ft 4 bulb each, 23 watt bulbs, so 192 watts total. I got the vertical space of like 2 feet if that, very minimal depth, decently long though.

I us a 400 mh for veg,and this little light makes it grow with real tight nodes.
It is really strange,I know what ya mean about being slow growers.
I think the bulbs need to be real close and replaced every grow,or two @ the most.
Furos grow a lot different then HIDS,If you have the patience....... I like the way Fluros grow a plant.
Really a tough one..... Id go with a hid if I had to choose.The Blue Dream and Sinmint C-99 are loving the litttle light.
But I expected them too.The soil there in has been ammended and cooked for awhile now.

I picked up a 8 bulb 4 ft t5 unit last year for a few hundred. I've been loving it for a veg light. Just my 2 cents .

I only pay $40 @ Lowes oh and "Note To Self": Don't Tan Your Johnson under 600W HPS...Ouch :'(
I looked all over the Lowes site for that & couldn't find it.
Got a link - I could use at least one & that's a smokin price.

May be a seasonal deal GW,I'll go look for the tag on the Unit's tomorrow.
I know this look's ghetto as fuck but I fully flowered out some Afghanica with this setup...Sometimes ya run out of room and then you put plant's in some strange places.This was cleverly hidden behind a Chicken Pen

Kewl,I saw on here where someone did a Scrogg with a 8bulb or 12 with a mixed spectrum.
Looked ok...But we hid growers know the buds were not dense @ all,and turn to dust when touched.Lol
Anyone have 1 of these? Its a 8 bulb.

It says it's a total of 10k lumens per fixture, so 20k total for 2 fixtures. 4x 24w 6500k bulbs in each fixture.
