yea the T5's are a little hotter running than the T12's but the numbers that the T5's produce are worth the little extra running the AC...IMO...yea gotta have all the cool new "toys"...as for the strains not sure about the taller plants I got what ever I could get to just start a grow, but the shorter ones are suposed to be purple kush ??... for my first grow I was'nt too picky just wanted to get something under the lights..LOL .

BTW anyone looking we have gotten off subject a little but I'm still wanting your inputs on tiger bloom...
