Yeah I can defiently tell the difference. Ya I finally decided how im gonna start.

For veg ill prob run x8 of those 23w/100w cfl's that do 1600l at 6500k.

For flower I'll prob run about 6 of those cfls(same watts as above) at 2700k and run 4 of the 6500k

But spread over about 40" for 2-3 plants

A lot of people use mylar and other things to reflect their walls, what is cheap and very useful at the local hardware store? I can see the problems with foil

Also, are you going to make some kind of hood for those lights in the pictures?
Salvein211 Reviewed by Salvein211 on . A few questions on flouresant tubes I'm planning on growing in a closet soon and just needed some clarification.. My question is: Why are T5's better then say T8's or T12's? T8's and T12's have higher wattage/lumens, so is the smaller diameter giving the T5's a more intense light? Also, I understand you can pack T5's closer together, and by looking at some of the posts with T5 grows they do quite well. But if you where to buy the x2 or even single fixture T8's or T12's without hoods, then mount the fixtures, and make your Rating: 5
