T5's are fabulous. I use them for cuttings, moms and vegging. Unlike t12's you can't put the T5's as close. Your plants can grow into T12s without burn. The
t5s put out much higher intensity than reg. flouros. Put a light meter 1 foot below bulb and you'll see 10,000FC. A regular flouro will put out about 2000FC at that distance.
grey1223 Reviewed by grey1223 on . t5 Questions... Just got a T5 and I have a few new girls. They are about a foot tall, just topped... the T5 should be right on these ladies correct? The meter have has a 500 and 5000 setting, and I'm getting 35 (10X) so 350 light candles out of 500. Is this enough light for these babies? I'm also getting forty more babies tomorrow, small ones. The T5 I have has four lights in it... is this enough to cover all the babies? What type of light candel intensity am I looking for? I figured I would leave Rating: 5
