Help with T5 setup

[hazetastic808]

I'm looking into all avenues for my new grow cabinet, just wondering if an all T5 setup for Vegging and Flowering would be viable, I'm planning on scrogging so penetration should be less of an issue.

Just wondering if they work well for flowering, if anyone has a link to some good grows with them, and then where would I go to get the best value of a setup (cheap but not a piece of shit)

Bang for the buck? (initial layout and cost of running, and bulb replacements) no, go HPS.

HPS is the standard for flowering and I wouldn't try to use anything else.

T5's will be fine for veg'ing but if you want to go cheaper you can still get great results with T8's or T12's.

my human has vegged to 18" umder this.


They can grow into it for a few hours to a day they stay cool.

My set up is (4) 24" T-12's 20 watts each at 6500k it's a light blanket.

I also have some 2600ish k's (don't use but may add to my hps room for some side lights).
These thing may be old school but you can not f--- it up.
