hey everyone,

just picked up my grow mau5 x kit to fit a 4x4 tent and cant wait to put it together. pics soon. Im getting started on my frame first and can anyone help with out with measurements for the best spacing of the cobs?
my plan is to do 3/2/2/3.
is it best to remote mount the drivers or just a personal preference?

i plan to scrog maybe 3 or 4 plants in coco but its my first grow so still deciding as want to keep it simple but got a few guys able to help out hopefully who have some experience

all advice and tips welcome hope youz enjoy my build

be back with more progress

Yes and no. I've got a small seedling/clone tent, that's 30" x 20". It's got a fluorescent tube in it, but I've been experimenting with a cool white led globe, with the top half flipped off.
It's 10W and 800 lumens, and a bit fierce for the seedlings. I've gone back to the cheapo flourescent tube. You don't need much.
A T5 is 5 feet long.

Um...No T5 refers to the diameter
Most common in growing are "2ft" and "4ft"

looking at picking one of these up from cutter http://www.cutter.com.au/products.php?cat=Grow+Light+Kits&scri=290&filter

will they be strong enough to veg for a abit aswell before i throw them in the 4x4 with the cobs.

otherwise my mate gave me a single 18w t8
but dont think that will be enough
