Hi guys I had a few concerns before I ordered lights for my box in progress. Hopefully there are a few people out there that can help.
So a little about the box and what Im hoping to accomplish. Im turning a old big screen tv into a grow box. I figure since it is just sitting in my room why not. Its size is about 3'x2'x4'. I'm only planning on growing around 3 plants at a time and will only allow them to go 3' high. This will be there home throughout veg and flowering so I want overall lighting.
Here it is:
The outcome I want is something with good intensity and overall output without getting up close to the plants. Maybe something that could be placed in a fixed position if possible. I also want lights that wont add extra heat to the space(Which is my concern with the T5). I want to avoid extra holes and exhausts to keep the illusion.
Those are pretty much my only concerns. Im personally leaning towards a T5 because of the cost compared to LEDs. But if it will prevent high temps then I dont mind spending a little extra.
Input? Suggestions? HELP!!!!!
