i didn't think the t-5 lights made any difference until i went to michigan and seen my friends grow room with 2 48" 4bulb light fixtures, the TREE'S were almost 6' tall . i asked him if they were there for looks he said that's what he grows with until he put the tree's outside for bud.. he gets well over a 1-1/2 lb per plant.. he's a care giver so when he grows tree's he grows TREE'S ..lol so i bought 2 mini ones from wallyworld and use them for vegging seedlings and clones or my every now and then autoflower just to keep smoke going in between harvest i will add an auto in my vegg cabinet.. your doing a great job my brother.. keep up the good work and YOU will be proud of what you do.. i also use the mini's for under lighting during flower i can place them on the tops of my aero buckets and helps with the lil popcorn buds under the main cola's that are getting most of the light from top side.. let me know if u have any issue's on the lights. i sent you a PM with some wiring instructions for the mini's.. KEEP ON GROWIN
