on a smaller scale i can adjust for mothers and clones by raising or lowering a light for taller plants.For what you are doing less is better.For what you are doing they have worked great for me while throwing off less heat than metal halide lights

I love the veg growth I get from my single 6 light 4' t5 fixture. I've only used it till they were a bout a foot tall.
So TWS, did you mean you grow them and then put them out for light deprivation.
That would be the only way I could pull off a greenhouse run up here. I've never done it.

Yes the plan is to run 4 crops a year with out blowing the lids and sides off a 20 x 80 10 ft cieling greenhouse.
I should of lying have to pull a tarp on the June - July crop or start seed or clone the first of June.

I'd love to do it but I'd have to figure out a way to cover in the greenhouse - nosey neighbors and some way to automate - my summers are busy.
I could probably do it 2 wice a year. 24 plant maximum here.

You could use a curtain system or build a hoop house frame inside of it. I was Googling all that stuff yesterday . I can't believe the price of the golden arm for a L shape stock of metal.
