now if there are a shit load of post on this go ahead and tell me i am stupid . ok i like to grow trees i prefer 1000 watt mh bulbs. but what do you prefer for small plants about 8 inches tall in veg ? mh or t5 . the specks on a typical mh 400 watt bulb is about 38000 lumens . and a 8 bulb 4 footer is 440 watts and 40000 lumens . the t5 area is greater then a mh bulb possible double spread area . if your going for maximum penetration . light will have to be as close as possible . i am looking for a new veg light for under 300 bucks that will do a 4 foot square area . any suggestions led t5 or stick with mh ? my set up i do not h ave to worry about heat issues . thanks .
