I'm at work right now so I cant post any pics...as soon as i get home I will make sure to update with some pics. I bought the T5 online...I think I paid like $450 for it!! Worth every penny!! I forgot to mention that they sent me a free sample of Fluorocious Plus with my order....that stuff is on hit!! A little stinky but works miracles!! Really helps tro drop roots and swell plants!
I use the GH Flourolicias Grow and Bloom as addatives in my grows and the plants seem to love it. Can you post a link from where you got the lights. Like I said I want to do a T5 set up pretty soon.
Adieu
i got my lights from specialty-lights.com
I see these units are 120volts only, being in the UK these are not compatible, but i will say for what they are the they`re very over priced, but do look the part.
Well it all depends how you wanna look at over priced....if you think that you can get 8-16 ozs from out under that lamp...its not that expensive at all...plus the amount of money you save in the long run with high electricity bills!!
I use a 2ft 4 bulb T5 light in the top of my cab. this height is like 3 ft tall the Light Is only 3inches in height. Its awsome. Plus the reflectors in the T5 lights are german technology which is supposed to be really good. I have yet to flower a whole plant through but here is a pick of A sexing process Im trying, I hope to have decent results.
the cfl raises the temps in my Cab by only 5 to 10 degress. It works well for hot summertime.

Hey tico, great grow you have here and I see this light of yours and I love it. I went to specialty-lights.com and did some looking around and I think that the Tek T5 432w is going to make priority on my next shop coming up. They are very sleek and hell you can get your own fixture adjuster, I would have to disagree and that this unit isnt overpriced ... Infact it is a reasonable price when you can flower 5-6 plants under it.Quote:

Trivium...Im glad to see that you agree!! I am possitive that you will not be dissapointed at all!! im currently wking with 8 plants aiming to get minimum 8 oz and maybe if im real lucky 12oz... I will make sure to keep everyone posted on my progress and final dry number!
I was up to twelve 40-watt tubes, and finally switched to HPS ... I miss some things about the flouros, they grow nicely ... but, I stayed with the cheap everyday tubes ... my arithmetic always told me it was much cheaper to add an extra cheap bulb or two to make up the lumen difference, than to replace those high-dollar T5s, which tend to be pretty pricey, dollar-to-lumen-wise ... just something to ponder, do the math ... :smokin:
