Hi tyrodogg
Just wanted too let you know if you go with the T5 flo's you'll need the 3000k one's(bloom bulbs),also get the 54w bulbs. I have done some researching I think the best way for a noobi like me or you togo would be a 1000 hps light as you can use for the whole grow cycle,but it does get hot you will need ventalation!! a cooltube comes too mind!

I made some T5's got 8 54w bulbs running after getting done with the T5project I found it acually cost me a little bit more than a 1000w HPS, know I regret not just getting one, my next light project/purchase will be a 1000w HPS.... GL :jointsmile:
