HI all I have a tent on the way and im thinking of what lighting would be good for a veg area on one or two good cuts. I was thinking 150W HPS after they matured under tubes. or should i just veg under T5? any suggestions would be great :) by the way im ordering an agromax "original" tent.

yea I have a bigger HPS for flowering. But I'm still up in the air over t5 or HPS. Hmmm I've never vegged with anything but HPS. I would go MH but i wanna keep the temps down in the tent and the HTG supply site is out 250 MH... T5s are looking mighty attractive.
