I use the CB series, there are places that ship them, but I got mine at a store in Denver

Yes. From seed to harvest under it.Are you flowering w/ T5 as well? That looks pretty good to meI'd be more than happy with those results

Those are 15 inch wide pots. A little shorter and wider than a five gallon bucket for size reference.
I have a six bulb model that has lasted two years.

When you flower, are you swapping bulbs then? Do you mind recommending a flowering bulb? I'm hoping to do some indoor grow of possibly some veggies this winter as well.

No, but bulbs were only $5 each so with bulbs it was $160 it came with GE 4100K's which are the best for yield

Not currently, like I told you in my thread, I am still testing to find the best bulbs and also combination of different bulbs. I already tested the GE 4100K's and they made the list for sure

If running the factory bulbs I would run a 50/50 mix of 3000 and 6400k.
My current setup is all agromax bulbs.
I run two bloom, two veg, two pure par, one 10,000k+uva that leaves one for what ever you want. A third pure par bulb or a their veg or bloom bulb.
My setup was different but I quit using the pure UV bulb.
Its covered in my thread.
Also @RM3 has a couple good threads on t5 bulb section.
The factory 50/50 mix will grow start to finish no problem. Also the seller of the t5 I listed will let you choose all bloom, all veg, or any mixture of those two.

Another option I just found. I certainly like the pricepoint on this one

It looks like that Sun Blaze unit I linked just dropped in price about 10 bucks.

Lol.
I already linked that one. The bulbs are double stacked so its the size of other 4 bulb units. That's what I use and it grew this.

I like them when they are spaced with the /\0/0\0/\0/\0/\ reflector. I wonder what that one tests like.

Well I finally made my purchase.
It's this unit
https://www.amazon.com/Hydroplanet-Fluorescent-Included-Horticulture-Gardening/dp/B019J3UPUS
The price point was a main driver. This unit sounds like a decent balance between price and quality. It's cheap enough, that if I want to add more lighting in the future, I can feasibly do that and not feel bad.
