T5 grow cabinet from Homegrown hydroponics

Anybody know how good the cabinet from Homegrown Hydroponics the one using the tek5 florescent is?
Jumbo Stealth Grow Cabinet v2.0 w/ Tek Lite T5 (8 Tube) Floro System & 5-40 Plant Aeroponic Hydroponic System w/ Co2!!

Looks pretty nice. Not all of their info is correct though. An 8-bulb 4-foot T5 fixture emits 40,000 lumens, which is a far cry from the 145,000 lumens of a 1k HPS system, yet they say it emits almost the same light. I don't think 40,000 is 'almost' 145,000, no matter how bad at math you are. But you can get that system with the 1k light anyway, so not a big deal.

what would the T5 balast be equvilant too a 400w
??

Not quite, but close. 400-watt HPS with good bulb = 55,000 lumens. T5 eight-bulb four-foot fixture = 40,000 lumens. Far less heat with the T5s though; that's their big advantage.

So how many plants would be optimal for those bulbs?

Could probably grow six decent-sized bushes under one. Or four and do a SCroG, that'd be best, to keep the buds more or less at the same height, so you could lower the Tek light really close to all of them. I have a nice T5 4' eight-bulb light. I only use it for veg, but it's a nice light.

T5's that are full spectrum should be used as seedling,veg and clone lighting only.

You'll get pretty sad results if you flower under T5's from what i've heard

Ya thanks guys myswell spend a little more and get it with 1000w MH/HPS think it will go good?Can i Do it in an apartment?

yep 1000 watt is the way 2 go... i plan on getting the 40 plant kit with the 1000 watt and doing sog. always have healthy 2" - 6" cuttings ready then flowering straight from the start with a good indica strain. they can grow incredible.

o yes i will b doing it.. if anything electric may go about around 40 - 50 bucks, might consider throwin a ac in the window.. thats what i plan on doing...
