I too like the T5 setup for veg. Currently i use 2 - 105watt 6500K CFL's for my vegging. I have a small Med garden so I only flower with a 430 watt hortilux hps. I would like to go to a 400 watt T5 for veg and a 600 watt hortilux for flower, someday when I have a little extra scratch.

I flower and Veg with my T5 and get great results. I have a mixed spectrum 4 x2 ft.

I was extreamly impressed wth my results, Gotta love the No heat factor. It works well in my Box.

There are 2 kinds of T5 tubes.One is like the oldfashioned,just stronger(and thinner),kind of HO.Then there is "Compact T5 tubes"
These are double and on 55 watt each.One unit usually consists of 2 or 4 compact double T5´s.THESE are the ones to buy.Today they can be bought for the price of an oldfashioned tube some time ago.
Usually they are in a mixed spectrum too.One doubletube is cool white,and the other cold white.
But the other T5´s are absolutely also good to use.It has become more easy and cheap to light da ladies.!
The picture is one of my Cinderella 99.Have been in flower 3 weeks today.
