In the flower room, the sun systems that seems brighter than the hydrofarm panels. The big difference is the the sun systems panel is only 17.5" wide, where the hydrofarm are a full 24" on the 8 tube x 4' models.

As far as vegging success, I grow plants to 3-4' high in #5 procan pots under my T-5s. In flower, I have 2 x 1k hps augmented with the 2 t-5 panels. Adding the t-5's gave me another 800+ watts without adding too much heat.. I love it.

Peace,

When I go to flower these girls, I'm gonna experiment with alternating white/red and see how it goes or a 4/2 red/white. I don't want to give up a lot of lumens. And I like experimenting and tweaking. :smokin:
gypski Reviewed by gypski on . Impressed So far I'm impressed with the Sun System Sunblaze 46 4 foot T5. I've noticed an inch and a half growth already in less then 48 hours. I have the light about 2 in above the tallest plant and angled toward the smallest. There is great potential in these systems. They're inexpensive, use less the $20.00 a month in electricity 24/7 in veg, and fit great in a two foot deep closet. I could daisy chain another one and utilize the 6' whole close with a 24" 4 lamp model. Would be excellent with Rating: 5
