I know that theT5 lights are where it is at but will four four foot 32W T8s do good for a 4'x2' mother and clone cab? Couldn't find amy pics of people using them. How much heat will they create? Thanks in advance.

I can tell you I veg under 1 2ft t5 up to about 8 inches. With no stretch. So I would think that would easily suffice. Go for it. I run hempy too.

Edit: Im also under 250 watt hps for flower.

I know t5 are Ideal, but 4 t8s in that space should definitely do.

Thanks man I picked up the shop lights earlier. 2 bulb 32w t8 fixture just ten bucks. I'm going to use them to start my veggie plants first then I'm building a new mother cab. What kind of exhaust will I need with these lights?

Shouldn't need any, depending on your room temp......
I run 300w of CFL's in a 2x2x4 area, and run the lights at night to keep temps just a shade higher (78-85) than daytime lights off temps, sometimes cracking the door if it gets a little warm.
