Very nice man. How much power r u pulling with those? Is that just a regular t5 set up with the dif bulbs?

I use all t5s (12 x 4 bulbs) at the collective grow for veg and love em.

Might have to try an fllower with one with the dif spectrum bulbs like urs just for shits n giggles.

here is a side by side comparison of a t5 with coral bulbs vs a 1k with an eye hortilux. They are 5 weeks apart. Im liking the t5 much more. Both lights do bleed a little into each side. thats all the room I have. Also I have since lowered the t5 and put the ducting back up on the 1k. was doing maintenance and cleaning .

I will document all this to put an end to t5 haters. the t5 is so much more brighter than my 1k

using 3 gal pots and feed guano tea thats it

its a quantum badboy 8 bulb. puts out 432 watts of light and drains 488 watts of power.. i use coral reef bulbs.

UVL Redsun.............................3
Wave Point Coral Wave.............1
ATI Aquablue Special................1
Korallen Zucht Fiji Purple...........3

then the 1k puts out 1000 watts of light and drains 1060 watts of power

My t5 covers more area, more intense than 1k . Over all its kicking the 1k's ass. in 2 days of flower pistils started to shoot out, It usually takes til day 7 or 8 to get that from the 1k

I asked before about a T5 sub forum and was told to post in the CFL forum....T5s are NOT CFLs....I agree, I don't think the T5 gets much love or respect here.

At the very least, they could easily change "CFLs" to "Fluoros" and cover both...

I have the same setup save that I am using a UVL 454 instead of the ATI Aquablue.

I like the aquablue special. It has a high blue spike and a good green and a little yellow and red. When I get my next t5 Im probably going to use the 454
