HPS was actually what I was going to go with in the beginning, but then I realized it might not be ideal for my closet, so I went with the best fluorescents I could find :D

it's about 4ft long 3ft wide.. I only keep the plants directly under the light though. A mother could be kept in there in a separate light proof box of some sort.

yea, i was going to get a 250w hps, if the heat isn't too bad to manage i still might later.

i thought it was for the money saving you were using t5s because you could fit a 250 or 400 watt with a cheap duct fan and or bathroom fan and you will be alright with temps

T5's run considerably cooler than HID, and I'm in an apt where cutting holes isn't allowed. I can have the room sealed and not have temp problems.

yup, your fine for now anyways. better to get your grow down right first before shelling out for more expensive setup :bigjoint:

Yea, that was an option I was also considering. I have the paranoid factor though, I like to keep the closet locked when I'm not around, and on 18/6 I'm not going to be around all the time the light is on... That could work out though, if I used the T5 for veg, and then used the HPS for flower, since I'm around generally for 12hrs straight and I could leave the door open when it's on.

Anyway, yea lets just wait till I at least get a grow or two through before I worry about this lol
