Whoops, didn't see ya writin'.

My answer was directed at the lamps in the first post.

The Sylverstar's are t5 lamps. Pretty expensive to replace the tubes here in the States, but with the 3000K bloom bulbs you can flower short plants if you keep them close to the tubes. You can veg with pretty much anything, as long as it's a "blue enough" wavelength.

Those are a MUCH wiser choice, at that price point.

I use the HOPO specials for veg, though. Spend my $$ on bloom lights. :thumbsup: Hermie
