    I'm curious to see what lights you guys like to run for your veg rooms. I'm looking to make my setup perpetual and will need veg lights. I'm in the air between t5s or LEDs so figured id see what your guys like to use!

    T5 light for cloning and seedlings

    I'm thinking of getting a t5 light just for cloning and seedlings. I have read various different things about what color spectrum is specifically best for cloning and seedlings. With that being said, what t5 bulb would you buy?

    Light Comparison T5 - 1000 MH

    I was curious how many t5 florescence would equal out to a 1000w MH. I had been using the HID, but I found a good deal on 3 decent 4'x2' 4 bulb T5 fixtures I planned to use for a garden or vegging but was curious how close they equal out to my 1000w

    T5 Lighting Question?

    Okay, so I am planning to build a veg box for 1 plant and I have experience with CFL's so I understand what I can do with them but I know nothing of T5 lighting. I am restricted on size so I am only going to talk about 2ft long T5's. Out of convenience it would obviously be easier to hang a T5...

    Small grow electricity

    Setting up a little space & putting a single 1000w (or 600w?) and possibly a single 4 Bulb T5 light in a room in a old house. (Reason, only going to do 2 or 3 plants at a time + clones.) My question is will the electricity at my old house space be able to Handle these watts?
