trying to figure out what lights i want

[Shovelhandle]

Thanks guys. The guy workin at ace seem to say the t5 was an older light and the t8 was newer and better but i opted to say i was growin tomatoes not cannibas

that is all backwards, Big. the T-5 diameter is much newer than T-8.

Shovelhandle Reviewed by Shovelhandle on 09-17-2013. trying to figure out what lights i want we have been doing a lot of reading and I am still unsure of what lights I want to use. my partner wants to go with t8 lights or t5s my first plan was cfls. where doing a small grow to get our feet wet and then when we get a dedicated grow room plan to go either hid or led lights here are my questions. which is better T5 or T8 and why. we got a T8 4 foot two bulb light at ace they don't have T5s guy said their an outdated design heavier and the t8 has more power. Second for either the Rating: 5
