Hey guys I need your much trusted opinion on this should i get a TEK 2 T5 which is basically a 2 foot ballast with 2 High output T5 lights that are 5000 lumens each equalling 10 000 lumens and it is 110 watts and lights come in grow or bloom or should i get a HPS 150watt with 16000 lumens??the only thing is that I cant get a MH bulb for it so i would have to use just the HPS bulb from seed to harvest.Which would get a better harvest? thanks for any feedback have a good evening!

Depends on method i.e. lolipop sog would favor the pll-55W.Floros are rated at 12" so half that distance from canopy increases available lumens were a hps will start to burn a plant.A grow were the first 12" of canopy penetration is only needed the floro has the advantage with mixed grow/bloom spectrum.Over 12" the hps is perfect for flower,but not so much for veg as the pll-55W with mixed spectrum is.
