Ok, so after much debate, I decided to go down to my local hydro shop and have them order the 2ft Hydrofarm T5 Jump Start Light System as a display for me to inspect. Here is my official findings on the system.

The Stand: The Hydrofarm Jump Start stand is great. It went up really sturdy and is super simple to assemble and use. I really like it and recommend it.

The Light Fixture: The fixture was decent in generic terms, nothing spectacular about it.

The T5 Bulb: Again, low quality and generic with only a single tube. However it would get the job done.

I ended up not buying the system as a whole, instead I bought just the stand for it. I then purchased a 48' inch compatable Hydrofarm 2-tube light fixture and 2 Agrosun T12 fluorescent tubes for it. I am much more confident in this customized T12 Jump Start set up, however I do think the Hydrofarm Jump Start T5 Light System itself would work for starting seedlings and rooting a personal supply of clones.

Here are some pics of the Green Crack clones I just cut, along with 2 extra rockwool cubes containing germinating Hash Plant seeds. :thumbsup: :rastasmoke:
