Drama Queen? Butt hurt still? Heh, like I had to ask..
still didn't call you anything..eh?
Like I said, "I can be hard to take sometimes." Blunt and speak my mind. Not very clear to exactly what I'm addressing at times...If you took that wrong.....well,,,ssssssssooor, , , NOPE, can't say it....
now let me check those links and I'll respond.....
Ok, nice of you to link those interested in that type of thing.....really.
In the world of what I'm doing, they are not going to do what I need.
Yet! LED tech moves so fast that by the time you have next best thing built and running. It's sooo yesterday!
I have 4 T5 8 place banks. A shit ton of bulbs bought at wholesale rates. I use them for vegging. I am about ready to move on to something more, um, modern. I'm leaning COBB but still attracted to CMH and that's changing a bit too (not anywhere as fast as LED).
But right now. If T5 is what you can afford for a small plant/small area grow,, it's still a good choice.....You can do plenty of spectral adjusting and makes for a good platform to learn and grow on.
As far as you "not seeing how anyone could use T5's for bloom." This indicates your bias towards your choice. While I understand and I'll say it again, "your view on the mercury issue." It does not remove the fact that in the right instance, T5's
are still a viable choice....
Look Head, drop the unbecoming name calling shit and see that while we both have points....I happen to be correct on this part.
I do rather regret making such a wide open statement. I guess that was my way of throwing back your "across the board dismissal" of them....I'm not sorry for it.....I suspect your not either......fair enough?
