Depends?, as some one that uses T5's to flower I would advise you to get Oracle lighting and use GE 54 watt HO 4100K bulbs

Only using to veg, then 1000w HPS for flower.

Ps, that's an awesome photo/setup! Beautiful.
That really depends on a few things, goals, size of space, if he has legal limits, etc. etc.



Here is what I use, I have 3 of them they were $130 each

Hey Hog, that's an awesome setup! How big is that space and how tall are those beautiful trees. I ask how tall cause I'm thinking about replacing the mh's in my veg room with T5 for the summer.

thank you, I call it the tanning booth

the space is 5 X 5

tallest one in that pic is 4 feet, I like my plants around 36 to 38 inches tall

the lights are stationary, I could move em, but I don't

So being that you normally grow 36-38 inchers answers my worries about penetration. Thanks. You really helped me make the decision to save electricity and not have to fight mh heat for this hot ass Louisiana summer.



I've been persuaded to T5's. Would this be a good deal?
Looks like a "good deal".

By the way, whatcha gonna grow?

Those pics gave me chills :) Very nice! Do you veg in same room? If so, do you raise up your pots to be closer to lights?
