Indoor Anyone know about the T8 lights? And what are the best T5's to get?

[The Squid]

Just trying to narrow down what lights I want to add. Thanks for the help.

Quantum Bad Boy T5s are the shits. They are giving some fantastic results.

Aaaaannnnnd Muddy for the win. Yeah I saw those and have been hearing about them. I'm looking to get two separate single T5s to add in. I'm not certain if Bad Boy makes a single. Do you know? Thanks!

Squid out. Peace

No, the smallest they make is a 4 bulb. http://www.quantumhort.com/quantum-t5-badboy.html

Yeah I didn't think I saw one. Thanks man. What single's would you recommend, good sir?

Hey Squid, I've got 4 of these 2' strip lights and I'm happy with them:

I recommend spending the extra 8 bucks to get the reflector. I usually prefer to make that kind of stuff for myself, but at least for me the time and effort would have been worth more than just buying it. They basically put off no heat and you can stick them anywhere you need extra light. I put them down at the bottom branches of my plants to get some extra coverage there.

By the way, the company I linked to is highly recommended. They recently made a mistake on one of my orders and overnighted the correct item to me with no questions asked. Very good customer service and the prices are good.

Yeah I have been checking them out. Kinda feel like an idiot for going with HTG without checking around much first. I was just going on a friends' recommendation and we're both nubes basically. Your site looks great I think I will be buying from them from now on. Thanks for the link El Andy.

I have been reading about spectrums and some folks just use veg all the way through with AFs and some switch out when flowering to that spectrum. What would you recommend?

It's up to you, I myself use 16 100 watt 2700k and four 200 watt 6500k with good results.

 

[The Squid]

So essentially with AFs you could just use veg lights all the way through or what? Thanks
