A few more weeks and 2008 indoor will be done. 3 plants under 48 inch 4 bulb T5 from seed to bud. To give a bit of reference, that is a full size refrigerator on the left side of the last picture.What do you think?

I appreciate the comments. I've gotten my money out of this T5 rig in the last couple of years.

I've never seen T5's anywhere but online, you may be confusing these with T8's, but then again I may be way off track as I haven't shopped lighting for a couple of years.

very nice m8, im lookin for t5s, is 4 lights is all you used?

so what if you introduced a hps250w or more watts, will this do even more for the buds like grow more nicer then they are???

I suppose more light would mean more bud, but I grow for myself and really don't want or need the extra heat or power consumption. But yes I'm only using a little old 4 bulb fixture. Personally I think what you put in the soil is just as important if not more than the light source, but that's just me. :weed:

Very nice! I just got a 4 bulb T5 setup myself. I was gonna use it for a couple of moms but I just might try to flower with it after looking at those nice nugs. Good job SativaSam:leaf:

Thanks Loco and everyone else who commented. I don't believe T5's will ever replace HPS or MH but they do have there place and will adequately do the job in some environments.

Looking good brother. I actually went the T5 route myself with my newest garden. I've just seen such great performance out of them I had to go that way. I'm currently using just one 2' 4tube T5 with a full spectrum for flowering. I'm using an Aerogarden as a clone/veg system. With the low heat and pushing out almost 10,000 lumens, I've been very impressed with how my garden is looking right now. Here's a link to my latest grow if anyone wants to check it out. https://www.rollitup.org/hydroponics-aeroponics/128190-homemade-aero-system-update-fifth.html
