the price difference is huge! http://www.aghydroponics.com/Sun-Blaze-4ft-x-8Tube-T5-Fluorescent-Grow-Light-p/litt5-960305.htm http://www.hydrowarehouse.com/sunlight-supply-sunlight-supply-new-wave-4ft8-lamps-p-1559.html is that because of a difference in reflectors??

is there a big difference between the sunblaze and the teklight? i think the only difference i can spot the teklight having a ballast.

sounds good. thanks!

can anyone speak to their experience with either the bad boy quantum, teklight, or sunblaze fixtures?

thanks for the info. i'm pulling up a seat for this since our setups are (or will be) very similar. :) where did you grab that phoenix? having a hard time locating one online to check out...

for your 4-bulb...how many plants are you growing?

i have a question about venting. the closet has a drop ceiling, can i just exhaust from the room (through a carbon filter) into the area above the drop ceiling? i checked it out yesterday, and when the ceiling tiles are removed there is tons of space between the boards above.

no one uses fixtures? just the bulbs and Y-adapters?

i just read this entire journal. kick ass, glad things worked out for you.

first of all, hello. kick ass forum with TONS of great information. i have decided on almost everything about my new grow closet except for the damn lighting. i can't make up my mind....HPS or T5. i am concerned with heat. the T5 fixtures can be mounted vertically as well. i was thinking of...
