4 weeks of flowering. looking very nice....

4 x 2ftT5 Bulbs 24W each
2 x 1ft 30W cfl T12

Im interested to see how much I can pull off here.

This is the first time I have tried growing with clones and really maximizing my space. 6 plants is alot to cram in my cab.:thumbsup:

None of these bulbs is actually a CFL.

Well you get the idea... What are they then?

Fluros?

Fluros?Yep.
T-12's are the oldest and least efficient fluorescent bulbs still manufactured. You can probably get more light by putting T-8 bulbs into the same fixture.
T-3's and T-5's are the most recent technology.
High output T-5's are the most efficient fluorescent bulb made today.
CFL's are T-3's. They are made to be cheap and efficient, but are not high output.
Good luck!
