it'll work from veg to bud...

it's not as awesome as a hps light, but fuck it... 2-3 plants, just cop a bunch of them little 100 watt cfls.
or if you can afford it a flourex light.
they have up to 100 actual watts

the t5 is flouro tubes.

I saw a setup on ebay that looked real good. but i never know if i should believe what they say. I guess you'd have to try it and let every one know

your gonna need ventilation so your plant can grow healthy and so the carbon dioxide the plant releases doesnt build up and make the plant sick at least put a little 5" fan to move the air around (point it towards the plants)YOu can get one at wal-mart for 5 bucks

cfl's dont put out that much heat, but zero ventilation wont be good at all get a small computer fan or one of those battery operated summer personal fans it will keep the air moving.
