T5 or T8 bulb setup for veg...

[Kingrow1]

I'd be very cautious here, some time back I was looking close at some German aquira lights very expensive T5's
4 footers and was walking to the cash out girl when my eye caught the lumens expected

I changed my mine ....lol chicken out is me, not checking out ...lolol

the price was like 5 times that of T5's, and just blue and reds too

I was drawn to the possibility of there being enough light for coral to live in water

so the light would be strong enough ...

but not!!!

=Fail!

Arcadia tropical, freshwater and plant pro cover any spectrum you want and are solid t5s for growing weed from the aquarium range, i highly reccomend them if you want a high quality bulb and spectrum.

It was the t5 holder that i wanted but its four times the price of the lightwave unit i presently run. The option of having the cooling and timer built into the unit are what appeal to me, the option of dimming wasnt neede but im sure id play around with that.

This details the arcadia t5s, freshwater for veg, tropical for flower and plantpro is like a better grolux and has a much nicer colour than the usual pink/purple grolux garish light.

Here is the agromax bulbs.

@RM3 swears by them. I'm using them now and I'm impressed.

In his runs he found the agromax to be the best. With some other brand bulbs to.

I dont know why anyone would use small cfls with the quality of t5/t8's thesedays.

I have the six bulb and eight bulb four foot .models from the same company. I have no complaints. The reflector can be bent so pick it up by the back bone. Other than that good light.
