the bulbs are smaller then T8's, wich you will usually find in schools or office buildings.
 
Thanks dman!!! So do tell what somethin like this here cost in the fancy store? And do it just plug into wall?

BWD
 
They plug straight into the wall, i dont use them YET, but i will be soon, they come in many sizes, 2 ft and 4ft long with 2-4-6-8 bulbs, prob go anywhere from $75-$300 depending on what ya get and where ya get it.
 
They be talkin bout this light in other thread just read. So they be sayin its only good for the veg not so good for flower?

BWD
 
various prices BWD...
try ebay... ive found plantlightinghydroponics a good n cheap place to buy from....i cant remember the plac THG gets hers from but there a good price as well.... but they dont ship to me.. :(

There will be different opinions on that, imo it doesnt have the throw to flower properly, but are great for veg, so IMO if ya have a veg and flower room its worth it, but if ya veg and flower in the same room, its prob not worth it.

Yes, my friend, if you do separate the rooms, a T5 would be a great addition.

I just checked my jeans pocket and found I only have a buck two twenty three, guess we're in the same situation as far as money goes!
 
can someone tell me why this happens? is it just a certain spectrum most t5s put out or is it something inherent to their design.. just dont see how or why it would be different from MH etc.
 
I think some (or most) of it is due to the ability to put the lights right on top of the plants, giving them full power! mho, could be totally different reason!

Any plant with the proper nutes and light spectrum will do this. :eek:

Even the sun :woohoo:

The T5s put out the same (or slightly more) lumens per watt as a MH, unlike other fluoro tubes. In addition to being able to put the light within an inch or so of the plants, like Roddy mentioned, it also spreads the light more evenly and runs cooler. I believe that both of these factors contribute to the tight internodal spacing.

BWD--just for your information. Fluoro tubes come in T12, T8, and T5. The number behind the T denotes the diameter of the tube in 8ths of an inch--T12s are 12/8th or 1-1/2", T8s are 8/8" or 1", T5s are 5/8".
