Hi guys,
I am starting a 2' x 2' x 5' closet grow and am poking around some ideas about lighting. Ventilation is going to be an issue, so in order to minimize heat I am going with florescent lighting. I have been checking out HTG and they have a 2' x 2' Tek PL-55 setup that they claim puts out 20,000 lumens with 4 bulbs. This is more than twice that of normal floros of that size.
The issue I am having is the way that my closet is structured. A central beam is what I will be mounting the light from, and while the closet is about 24" wide. The beam is only 10.5" away from the wall. This means that I am going to have an issue mounting a 24" unit and getting it to fit.
I'm not sure if I will be able to bend the brackets/adjust the fixture, or whatever to get it to fit or not. Returns are not really an option, I have to get this right the first time, which is why I need your help.
Is the PL-55's really worth it?
Will I get a good enough yeild with normal T-5's?
Does anyone have this: PL-55 Fixture?
Will I be able to twist it and make it fit?
Should I vote democrat or republican?
Can you cut up my vegetables while you are at it?
Not trying to sound too needy but I plan on making this purchase tomorrow and just want to get it right.
Thanks for the help guys!
