Hi I was wondering if when putting one of these t5 tubes in my box wether or not I should keep the tube cove on or take it off so that just the bulb is exposed. will i lose lumens or light penetration if I keep it on?
Ok. I was just worried about it being unsafe as i am using it in a 30'x16'x12' box so the leaves of my two ladies would be very close to touching the bulb. And I just read a little bit about lux, I think I understand it at least a little bit, so I know it would be more beneficial but how much more i have no clue im sure you would be able to tell me more.
