I'm doing a rubbermaid tote grow, I've got three week-and-a-half old plants with 6 CFL's right now. Originally I was going to add more CFL's as I went along, but I'm considering instead using two single High Output t5 strips: one on each side. Any thoughts?

I guess what I'm asking is if anyone uses the two together that could offer input?

I use the two together. you can use t5's or cfls - or both together. I can't figure out what you want input on.

right now I have 2 t5's with some seedlings growing underneath it. I'll be upgrading my seedling/clone room with a 4 bulb tek-light (20,000 lumens). You want an hid to grow your plants. But if you only have flourescents you can still grow some weed, it will be a little sub standard. I dont think Ive ever heard of somone growing a crop under 2 t5's though.
