hey what's up everybody?
i am having a lil dilemma and need some help trying to figure out which way to go with my veg area.
i just recently decided to move my op to a more secure and stable location and along with the change of location also came a much larger expanse of space that was never or haven't been available to me in some time.
over the 2 yrs i've been growing i started out with t5's, but being that from time to time i had to relocate, i bought and grew accustomed to cfl's. they're lightweight and if i had to move again it was nothing for me to transport them from the old location to the new location. they also fit nice in any size tent i used, where as the t5 only could fit in a 4x4 tent or bigger.
however, now i am using open space i just don't think that they'll put out or cover the same footprint that a t5 would.
it's been awhile since i used my t5 and would hate to buy cfl bulbs (even though i prefer them) just to turn around to by t5's to properly cover an area. now that i no longer really need the use of tents atm, i was wondering what would be the best lighting of the two- t5's or cfl's?
here's the cfl bulbs i've been thinking of picking up along with the bat wings to place them under.
do you guys think that 2 of these will light a 6x6 area just as much as or better than 2 t5 4 bangers?
