That sounds great, I might have to give that a try.

Each plant is just one bud?

How long do you veg?

I'm running an 8 bulb T5 which is using close to 500 watts! Only 3 plants in there, now that I've trimmed the fans there is more room, so I'm going to move some other plants in with them. The 3 are almost finished.

Less electric bills would be nice.

If I made a 2' wide 2' tall 4' long box, you think two T5 HO bulbs would do? or more like 4 bulbs?

Thanks for the info!
