Do you plan on keeping your tent in the closet? I'd go with the addt'l T5's, I totally love them and you know how to get the best from them. Too hot with the HPS and the replacement bulbs are pretty costly. And what if your cooled hood fails when your not home? I get real nervous about fire....
that hps setup intimidates me....Love the t5 though ;)

So went to my local hydro shop and picked up another hydrogen designer t5 2' 4 bulb and some fox farm big bloom all for 150$. It was tax free Friday and he threw in 2 bottles of root enhancer for free so I saved about 45 in savings and got 20$ worth of root enhancer couldn't beat it, was tryna get an led he had for 160$ that was selling for someone else but couldn't get ahold of him that one led he said he got 4 oz under it so I finnaly found a company that makes LEDs for our needs and not other plant needs will post pics tonight when lights turn on

Sounds good man. Did it come with the 6500k or 2700k bulbs?

Hydrogen?? You mean Hydrofarm right? Maybe umm, spellcheck on phone? lol

Plants are going to love the new lights.

4 oz. under an LED??? What kind of LED? seems like alot. definately not off of 1 plant

Cool man, Should see lots of inprovement with the new lights. Can't Wait
.
im building a T5 light atm. whats the 2700k light for?
2700k is used for flower. although people use a mixed spectrum with the 2700k in veg. I Recommend a 3:1 Ratio

Yeah that light will definitely help/nice coverage.....only suggestion I give you(not that you want it :))...is to lower the thermostat to canopy level(more accurate reading);It will always be higher(+4-6degrees) when placed above the lights.........the girls look healthy and happy brother.....great grow..

be safe and happy growing
