Yo what up tico? Nice thread you got going. Its funny I found this thread today, because today I got rid of my 1000 watt HPS that was in my 4x4 homebox. Reason being it was way to fucking hot and was a bit overkill for what I needed Im just growing for me and my wife to have our own personal stash so we dont have to smoke that nasty brick weed anymore. Today I went to the Hydroponics store and traded in my HPS For the New Wave T5 8 bulb unit. There is no heat at all. I mean my homebox is at 80 deg compared to my HPS which was 96 deg last night when I came home and with the T5 I have my hydrothermometer about 8 inches away from my bulbs compared to 30inches with the HPS. I know the T5 doesnt have the penatration of the HPS but like I said its more suitable for what Im doing plus it will save on energy. Grow looks good, keep it up and ignore the haters. This light will catch on eventually, Do your thing boy!
