Does a T5 require a special hood/ballast? or can i put it in a standard flourecent one?
Thanks! I did not know that. Grandpa said "learn something new everyday, or the day is a waste"... I'll be taking the rest of today off now. Thanks again THG, Love finding out what I did not know.The Hemp Goddess said:The number after the T denotes the size of the tube in 1/8". A T5 is 5/8" in diameter, a T8 is 8/8 or 1" a T12 is 12/8 or 1-1/2. Each bulb size needs its own fixture.
Ive just been schooledThe number after the T denotes the size of the tube in 1/8". A T5 is 5/8" in diameter, a T8 is 8/8 or 1" a T12 is 12/8 or 1-1/2. Each bulb size needs its own fixture.
I understand... just looking to drop the Heat inside. was thinking of going big at 1000w watts but the small quarters. 36"x24"x53"..2 plants for a forst grow.T5 can be excellent for veg. I love it. For flower, if you keep your canopy super flat you'll get a harvest. I've actually done a harvest within the past 6 months that included a bunch of short little clones under t5 and came out beautifully . But large plants need stronger lights and you'll never get optimal yield with t5. If you don't mind low quantity high quality, and can control your canopy, yes they are an option.
