Where do you buy your bulbs? I didn't know there were so many choices.Check out my sig MY lights are there...Click MY GROW to see my link

Theres plenty of places to get these bulbs both locally and online...Where do you buy your bulbs? I didn't know there were so many choices.
Isnt it true that the better quality the light and the more like sunlight that you can provide you will in turn yeild better bigger crops?true, for the average toker, t5 are probably enough. (or even cfls, but t5 are really better, less wasted light but dont fit every situation)
many people grow though because they cant afford all the smoke they need (medicinal grows(course they enjoy the shit out of their cannabis too, just it becomes a bit more necessary for a happy life ))
and there it would be smarter to grow with hps (more yield in the same space)
course then ya got to deal with loud fans lol. but hey, better than being without smoke.
No comparison...Its not a new thing that t-5s are more efficient. I use them for veg and love it. I have to ask what are you comparing you setup to as in hps? 1000w?
T-5 better out preform a HPS?? that dosent seem to jive very well at allIsnt it true that the better quality the light and the more like sunlight that you can provide you will in turn yeild better bigger crops?
If this is true w/w of my light in my unique combination will provide a larger more productive crop. I understand in some circumstances my setup will not work.. BUT in a majority of them it is in every way superior to any HPS watt for watt.. $ for $ check my thread theres REAL research involved.
I lay out the facts and science behind what i propose read my thread and decide for yourself... HID is mainly propaganda driven,, i back all my research with FACTS.... I make no conclusions besides the ones i can back by research...T-5 better out preform a HPS?? that dosent seem to jive very well at all

Read about the Inverse Square Law... now imagine my lights 3" from the plant and yours 1' inverse square law DEMANDS that your plants will receive 50% of that light from your Hid @ 1' and 25% of the light at 2' so having your bulb 1' from the plant and i mean the actual light source not the glass bulb surrounding it you loose 50% of that light...
Thats scientific LAW..not propaganda...
I get BETTER growth than anyone I've seen W/Wh I AM NOT growing with Standard T5... or Horticulture T5 49W are not HO mine are 54W per 4'Bulb..humm, i know you guys like your t5´s and all and yes they are great.
ive tried ho t5´s... (49w to be fair) 4x49w (4300 lm) that i added lots of cfls to and later 150w hps´s.
they grow fine plants, just not if you compare them to f.e 400w mh and t5 vegged plants look pathetic compared to f.e 600w hps vegged plants.
can you grow good shit with t5´s? yes. they are fine for small grows where hps does not fit, space or heatvise (or noisevise)
but you can not compare them to anything but 70w hps/100w mh. and even there, only the size of the t5 coverage saves them from being beat by the hps or mh.
Read the definition of lumens. its what the EYE sees not the plants.. when your done read the definition of PAR then read my thread and understand that measuring a bulb in lumens means NOTHING when growing plants. 100000 lumens @ 10%PAR is < 1000 lumens @100%PARman I switched from t5s to a HID system.. my buds are huge, very dense, as way more lumens, only $6 a month to run 1000w. with proper venting....
