Well I wish you replied sooner, didn't think of that before I caved in and ordered. I got the same t5 setup for 125 US with the 6500, also a switchable ballast 400w, and a bulb for each mh/hps. The mh was a specific one that outputs at 6500k which cost 65 usd.

The ups should be an extra 100 though. I basically saved myself from buying a second ballast this way. The t5 will be for new clones, mh/hps for growth/flowering. Still going over timing in my head and when clones will be taken so on. First grow if male/female will just make seeds for backup dont want to spend the money for them again for the same strain at least.

Left them at 29.2 c when I left for a party which I'm not back from yet, I hope the temp didn't rise. Was playing with new lights and exhaust.
Pasofol Reviewed by Pasofol on . CFL Cab Grow Log... My First grow went ok but now I have a better setup. Since I learned all i know from here. I thought My second go around I would share to learn more myself. These are the plants after 1.5 weeks from Sprout. This part of my cab I decided to try the Home Depot route. 27W CFL 6500k 5 right now. In the top of the cab I have a T5 light. So far the T5 Grows faster even though the lummes output is matched with the HOme DepotLights. I believe this is because of the reflector the T5 has. Regardless Rating: 5
