Yeah they do need to be pretty close to the plants to get good flowering results. The light becomes useless after about 8-10" and you want to keep the lights 2-4" from the top of the plant. If you dont you will have stretching and fluffy buds. Genuity are you flowering that many plants in that space under that light? I hope not because it is not enough room and not enough light for all those plants, they will be over crowded and light coverage will be an issue. I can push 8 plants smaller in my setup and that is asking a lot of my lighting to get a good harvest. For than many plants 2 1000 watt HPS is more ideal.
How much do you harvest from your t5? you have a 4ft 8 bulb HO?
