The price is great,only problem is if you read my other posts my order was large enough that they dropped the shipping and handling at the other store. and thats why it's only $4 difference.They are actually a really good deal there. If you buy in quantity you save a little extra. Shipping isn't that bad, I think it runs about $18. The site is a little confusing, but it's $18 total for shipping, there isn't another hidden charge. The place is legit, I've ordered a few times from them. I believe my order came to $76 TOTAL for the 4 Red Suns. Seems a lot more that $4 savings compared to your $108 anyway.
I'd definitely "try" to flower with T5s . They work, and when used correctly, will keep up with HPS numbers/yields. Oh, and don't forget about the quality final product you get with T5s. Just my $0.02.I am running T5 lighting from veg. 2 24w HO strings and a 4 bulb 96W aquarium light with 6500K grow bulbs. Everything is working out well. I would not try to flower with these but veg is great.
Sweet!!!! Recently joined the site and I just became a member of the T5 club (2ft 4 bulb for a cab grow). It's coming with veg bulbs, so your info is very beneficial!just also wanted to put it out there that ablackhorse.com is kicking zm florasuns for 10.50, shipping is fair as well--stock up if you need to!
a lot of folks like the quantum badboy and for plantlightinghydroponics.com's price it should be on your short list; fluorogrow out of florida uses the same fullham racehorse ballast and offers a 5yr warranty (pretty good for an all american made product) as quantum hort and charges about 20 bones less. I'm in the same quandry as you, trying to choose a fixture and get going but ultimately its gonna come down to whichever one feels like the right choice. takes a lot of market research and lurking forums asking about experiences and searching for people who use different equipment--then you have to let your nuts drop, pull the trigger on one, and hope it all works out! pm me if you want to discuss this thing further--not sure if the good folks here are gonna want to continuously rehash these beaten-dead-horse topics,What is the best t5 fixture for the price? I want a 4ft that is no more than 2ft wide. Thanks
As I have stated many times, if I knew then what I know now, I would get 2 4 bulb fixtures instead of one 8 bulb. The Quantum has an open back, only covered by easily removed reflectors, so I can squeeze a power cord or hangers in between for additional lighting on separate timer.a lot of folks like the quantum badboy and for plantlightinghydroponics.com's price it should be on your short list; fluorogrow out of florida uses the same fullham racehorse ballast and offers a 5yr warranty (pretty good for an all american made product) as quantum hort and charges about 20 bones less.

be prepared to call them when you get your package--all 4 of the flora suns were smashed to bits when they arrived, but they were fine with just sending out another set, no charge::i hope they come in one piece this time :/just also wanted to put it out there that ablackhorse.com is kicking zm florasuns for 10.50, shipping is fair as well--stock up if you need to!
