what are the most efficient fluorescents, for both veg and flower? cfl? flouro tube? t5?

it's looking more and more likely that i'll do a single growroom, and it will have to be all flouro because of heat and extremely poor airflow


it's a closet, and i'm thinking a couple t5 setups with perhaps 4 tubes might be the trick. would use just one when plants are young, and start using two when they grow up and flower


where is a good place to get high-efficiency flouro tube setups? i was looking at discount hydro, but unsure of what to buy

this is a 3'deep, 6'tall (up to 8ft if needed) 9ft wide closet, though i'll mylar-off part of it depending on how much room i need. i won't be able to rig intake and exhaust, just a few circulation fans inside, so i think hps is out; especially since when i'm flowering it will be the hottest of summer, though it rarely gets over 75F here; the closet cannot be left open, but most be closed always when i'm not in there working


anyway, appreciate the help; i want to buy my lights so i can get started

electricity is the issue; small appt and don't want my rates to hike too much. will only probably have 2-3 plants at best, possibly only 1
