So are you thinking I should stay with my 600w mh?
yeah I would stick with the 600
reason being light has to be in stages
if you veg under a t-5 even if it is a 600
you arent gonna get enough good veg down the stems for it to be worth it...if that makes sense
the T-5 just wont penetrate deep enough into the canopy to create enough plant material far enough down so that when you bend them out under the canopy...you will actually have plant material from the inside out on each branch once bent over
with a MH it does have more throw to give you that extra plant material
also remember to not have much wind in veg
as in only have minimal breeze in the veg in order for the air to circulate but not really enough to rustle the plants
the plants will then be super weak and bendy almost like a vine
then in flower you can ramp it up and the branches will stiffen up as it flowers
