Hello to all readers, I am a long time lurker for research but have finally decided to chime in considering I am finally where I can go legal!
To the point:
I have a 2'x2' area for veg and I'm having a tough time making a decision on which source of lighting will give me the most compact growth (I'm interested in manifolding, so the shorter the node distance the better for me!)
My funds are definitely low but I will save up if I must, however the options I am considering I have found are in price range.
My research and jewish wallet led me to either a 384w 23.5"x23.5"(Convenient right?) 16 bulb t5 setup or a 17"x17x" wing reflector 400w Metal Halide.
The t5 setup is about 30$ more than the MH so price isn't the issue as much my inexperience in both t5 and HID as having been a long time micro grower.
I appreciate anyone who has taken the time to read this far and would greatly appreciate input from anyone experienced with t5's or HID's as to the best option for compact or maybe just best overall growth. Thanks all for you have all influenced me greatly inadvertently.
