for the price of a t5 16 tube badboy you can buy a induction light

Any thoughts on this?

What wattage and where?

SirSteely · Jan 6, 2013

After some research the price of induction lighting per watt is not nearly as affordable as T5s

OldGrowth420 · Jan 6, 2013

I used to use T5 lights, they cut the cost dramatically and still work great

Thanks so much to all who have contributed information here. Upon deciding that I needed some Zoomed Flora Suns, I looked at the local pet stores, and found none. If I need to order online, who has the best combination of price and customer service? I know I read some recommendations, but am having trouble finding them again in the 71 pages. Thanks for any semi-current information!

You might also get 2/4 UVL Red Lifes (to add during flower) + 1/6-8 Wave Point Coral Wave to use throughout

And as I have often said, If I knew What I know Now I would not go with bigger than 4 bulb Bad Boys (built in reflectors) and 2 @ 2 bulb for side lighting- not needed until late veg

oscar de grouch · Jan 10, 2013

T5 bulbs go into T5 fixtures

oh and digital timers don't play nice with t5 bulb's longevity......use a mechanical one

for serious PSUAGRO? I gotta switch 'em back again! damnit...can you explain? is it just issues with prog. start?

inspiredgardener · Jan 13, 2013

I'm wondering if I could put some T5s on the walls in my veg area hmmm

lycanweed · Jan 14, 2013

running 8 , 2ft t5s , vertical . 2 per wall .2 1/2 ft sq box 36" height. 2 @ 2700k 1 @ 3000k 2 @ 4100k 1 @6500k 1 @ 10000k .plus 2 2700k 200watt cfls hangin gives me 3/4 between nodes ,11 and 13 prong leaves dense buds and happy happy plants . planning to add 5000k and a uv red for triggering flowering . average distance from plant to light on flowering plant is 6" almost doubling lumens produced by lights, reducing stretch and increased density.

Yeah sorry buddy ..............switch it back to mechanical, digital timers still pass a trickle charge when OFF wreaking havoc on large CFL/PLL/T5-T8 with electric ballasts

If you have those old magnetic ballast T12-T8 shouldn't be a problem.....

LOL... kitty tanning booth is only good til budding... then it becomes a hazard... especially if long haired cat... always picking hairs out of my buds, and my cats have been banished for a while now as a result, heh. I'm working in a low closet, so they're pretty close to the ground... the cats' bodies don't hit the buds but their fuckin' fluffy tails come through like a shark fin and leave hairs on everything...
