Yeah tents are cool, you got be careful of the weight of the light tho, some of those tents come with crappy poles, go for galvanised steel every day

about the side lighting i figured i could just get some more cfls a some supplimental side lighting if they started to get to thick/tall i understand they are just more efficient then the t5's. please correct me if im wrong though... and i looked at some led's but they are just so damn expensive and half of them seem to be cheap rippoff lights that dont do anything..decided to just stay away.

Reason why I went with T5's instead of CFL's for the side lighting was because of issues with bulb sockets, reflection and heat.

For some reason, CFL's generate a lot more heat than T5's, I had tried using CFL's for side lighting but once the leaves touched the CFL's, they would burn within minutes... as well, I didn't have a good idea for light reflection for CFL's for the side lighting so the T5 lighting was reflected off the mylar installed on the side wall of my closet.

T5's are also a lot more easier to install, since a set of T5 comes with 2 brackets that are just screwed on and can be attached to multiple T5 units which come in handy during flowering stage when a timer needs to be used.

Compare the price to one good LED light to add, I reckon a 150W would be perfect for your area or even the 240W they don't give off much heat from the light, just exhaust
