That's it...I was just about to write something similar to this post..I'm chiming in here without reading much of this thread (4479 pages!!).
I'm in the process of finishing building a second flower room and I was on the fence regarding lighting with T5HO's or HPS. I've seen photo's of both Rid's and DCobeen's grows and they are amazing.
I think if plants are spread apart and are not like 5' tall T5's are a very good option....but that's not how I want to grow in the new flower room. I'm looking for tall bushy plants that will most likely be bunched together (it's a 4'x8' room) and am anticipating growing them to about 5' tall.
It's for that reason and the cost of buying all the T5 bulbs and the multiple fixtures that pointed me to going with two 600w HPS lights.
With smaller space,and smaller plants...yes cmh,yes LED,yes t5
Larger spaces,larger plants,bigger lighting
