Planning on gettin some new floro fixtures and am wondering which is brighter/better the T5's T'8s or T12'. Will have 2 2 bulb fixtures with one cool and one warm bulb in each. As these are just to keep some moms and a veg box going. Thanks

can u post the bulbs specs, regarding watts, lummens and kelvin???that would help
these are not good for veg m8
u should look up anything above 5500k...these are around 2500 thats good for flowering
T12's can be 3000k-6000k @ up to 3600 lumen, they make VHO four-footers that go higher
For veg, T8 bulbs, runned with electronic ballast would be the best alternative. Choose triphosphor tubes (with CRI 80 or higher), they are the most efficients. Daylight work better in veg (over 5400K, better 6000 to 6500K).
T5s is a good alternative for flowering, due to its higher intensity, but its no neccesary in veg, so no sense pay a lot more for the T5s.
