Re: Minimum Amount of Light Watts/Gal Required? I use the t-5 ho's, they are great great lights for my seedlings, they provide the perfect amount of heat and just enough lumens the plant requires to grow. But when it comes to the flowering (blooming and yield) nothing (yet for me) has compared to HPS, granted i use 1000 watt HPS for that cycle.
Ya know, i wouldn't mind someday to try the t-5's for my tank, everyone here seems to think they work great, it would be nice to be "ballast free"..
But here's a question about t-5's.. what color combination is people using? I currently use 2-150 MH, which gives me alot of room for my 4x96 (2 blues and 2 actinics)..
Thanks
