BlueBear - Thanks for your input. I am looking to go soil-less so I am thinking that the water wont lay there on the bottom....it drains out. (unless you know someone who has used them.) I also like that you wont have root issues if you need to yank a male. There's no clogging. You can move each plant pretty easy if need be. It also eliminates the need for a pump. I wonder if you know anyone who went with autopots?

Check out the girl who does the the auto pots web demo! Yummy http://www.futuregarden.com/video/autopot.wmv

Is the T5 a poorer light source? It doesnt run hot, it is super quiet, and eats less juice...all pretty important to me.

Danlboy- you should start a log. Would like to see your progress.
