I used to use T5 lights, they cut the cost dramatically and still work great

You might also get 2/4 UVL Red Lifes (to add during flower) + 1/6-8 Wave Point Coral Wave to use throughout
And as I have often said, If I knew What I know Now I would not go with bigger than 4 bulb Bad Boys (built in reflectors) and 2 @ 2 bulb for side lighting- not needed until late veg

T5 bulbs go into T5 fixtures

Yeah sorry buddy ..............switch it back to mechanical, digital timers still pass a trickle charge when OFF wreaking havoc on large CFL/PLL/T5-T8 with electric ballasts
If you have those old magnetic ballast T12-T8 shouldn't be a problem.....

LOL... kitty tanning booth is only good til budding... then it becomes a hazard... especially if long haired cat... always picking hairs out of my buds, and my cats have been banished for a while now as a result, heh. I'm working in a low closet, so they're pretty close to the ground... the cats' bodies don't hit the buds but their fuckin' fluffy tails come through like a shark fin and leave hairs on everything...
