Ty ripster!
I spend 3 days to find a T5 fixture what good for me. The link what I post so far the most cheeper. I find many shop what deliver to Hungary (encludeing Europien, and US shopes), but they if I want a T5 HO 4' 8 tube fixture shipping me for horrible price! (the product 200 dollar, and the shipping is 700-1000 dollar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
This is the first site (US) what sell affordable price! They send me from US to Hugary about 300 dollar( product and shipping). I spend a lot of time to try to find a shop like this. If someone has another idea I will happy to listen, but I think noone can find a cheeper price. I hope I can order this at next week! And after that nothing can stop me to grow high quality buds!!!!

Hey guys first post here. I've done 2 photo grows before one turned out ok. Im looking to try autos this time due to the stealth and time factor. I'm going to use the 4 tube 54w HO 6700k light that i used for the photos. I'm making a grow box slightly wider and deeper than the fixture(48x18) and about 4' tall.

You guys think i will have enough light to do 4-6 plants? Would the any need to add some CFLs to the sides ?

Welcome to the T5 thread Festy!!

To answer your ?'s, I do believe you would have plenty of light for that. If u can do photo's w/your fixture, auto's are a breeze!!! U could always add some CFL's to help out. Wouldn't hurt a thing

Good luck and keep us posted..

Its a Hungaryan grown calculator. (width , length, height in CM). I think it made for HPS lighting, but the lumen, and the vent value almost the same.
It show you the minimum , and maximum value what you need for growing.
I hope I help with it!
