Go to the growroom lighting forum. Use the search function. Not hard info to find. You can buy or build depending on your needs. They work good for vegatative growth and you CAN flower under them as well. I use them in my mom and veg cab. I use 2, 4 light fixtures by Sun Blaze. 24" long. 96 watts each and my cab runs very smooth. I would go with MH or HPS for flower if you have the room. Lots more intensity in those lights to help with flowering.

I've been using T5 for the past 3 years. I have a 2 foot 8 lamp fixture. Just change the bulbs for flowering. I can crop about every 2 1/2 months and the return is not bad either. Plus T5 are cheap to run, no hassles from the power company much lower heat issues if your growing in a box..

thanks for the info

thanks for the info

thanks to those who replied to my question on the t5 lights. i,m sure i,m gonna go ahead and use them for the next 2 grows just to see for myself, but from what all ive heard about them they sound pretty good to me. and now that we have smart meters on the houses around here i hope the t5s can be used without throwing up red flags. i only plan on using 4--4foot bulbs so that wont be to many watts. its getting so hard to do anything anymore without having to worry about : big friggin brother : lookin at yur every move!!!!!!!
