MH or T5???

[hanayama]

thanks for the testimonial turk!

If you use two 400 watts you'll only be using 800 watts at any given time and use a total of 12Kwh a day if you use the 18/6 and 12/12 schedules. Thats 360Kwh a month. Not bad I say :thumbsup:

Not too shabby if you ask me

edit: Also it's worth noting that your flower room will be more intense than your veg room even if your wattages are the same in both rooms. Remember HPS puts out more lumens than MH per watt. :thumbsup:

good point daihashi. i forgot about the lumen difference btwn. the HPS's and the MH's.
im going to stew over all this for a while and see what comes of it all.

i wont be growing again for a couple months so there's no rush

thank you to everyone who chimed in.

MH or T5??? so heres what i got...... im a few days away from my first harvest. after that i have to stop growing because i am moving. however, once i move im going to immediately start growing again. i vegged with a dick ton of CFL's and flowered with a 400 watt HPS. i just recently read somewhere that those CFL's loose their luminosity after a month or two...so that sucks. those are out so in my new set up im planning on having 2 rooms, 1 veg 1 flower. each maybe 3x3 or 4x4 at best Rating: 5
