I am on my first grow in my new apt. closet and heat is my biggest concern with my hps setup I have now. I was just wondering if it is worthwhile using t5 H.O. 3000k or just stick with 'ol school hps. Good priced units here High Tech Garden Supply

stick with the HPS, the t5 dosn't have much intensity and the results fall off quickly as distance from the light increases.

your lower buds wont be getting much light at all, stay with the HPS
