Hey fellow cannabis enthusiasts.

Thanks everyone!!

You would use that over LED?
I'm looking for max results you could get regardless of money?
Does your answer still stand

Just debating about getting a 5 cob array or something else.
Thanks

T5 will be cheaper and less heat. My plants like it anyway

 

[HazePhase]

I dont know about less heat than LED?
My current lights barely have any heat at moment?
However never seen T5 so maybe it has even less :)

Hmmm... maybe I will go T5... I need to save electricity but not at the expense of my girls :)

Good to see you sticking around :)

 

[iKharon]

Not only that, but a t5 will only run you $100

 

[HazePhase]

Yeah true - how many watts for energy?
Also how many times do you have to replace them?

I really don't care about upfront cost if the reward is there.
However spending $600 vs $100 to get an extra cm isn't worth it LOL
So that is where I am torn and looking :)

i have 120w of cobs over the same spot i used to have 300w of t5 and the new cob setup is vegging the plants much better with less than half the power.t5 is decent tech but times are changing fast.2 x 50w quantum boards would also smoke 300w of t5 no doubt in my mind.

After that hortilux eye mh

Damn thats a good deal, about how much would you have into a similar diy led sixstring?

 

[AngryBeeman]

Ceramic metal halide Ftw Would not waste my time with T5s You're not saving money you're wasting Energy!

 

[sixstring]

Damn thats a good deal, about how much would you have into a similar diy led sixstring?

Well you would have about 160.00 to 180.00 in cobs,60 to 70.00 for the driver,60 to 80.00 in heatsinks,then you still have cob holders,reflectors,wire,misc nuts n bolts plus the framework.they prob doing all that work for 100 bucks which for us is cheap.its a great deal,Etl listed water resistant you choose your plug 120v or 240v
