T5 lighting?
So, never gone the T5 root for seedlings, always straight under 250w mh. I wanna try these as they seem to be the shit when it comes to early veg.
I'm gonna get a new 60cmx60cmx120cm veg tent. And hve a t5 in it to run seedlings in their early stages. Then move them under mh at 400w for mid veg.
So. What t5 lights would you recommend for a tent that size?

Not so epic when the leccy bill comes through haha
Which is why I'm thinking of the t5 route, can do a long veg for very cheap under one of those compared to 250w mh.

I do about a 6 week veg 🤑
A T5 is a tight fit for a tent that size. Mine didn't fit due to the lead being attached at the end of the light, rather than at the side.
Mine was a 96w, but found it a waste on a couple of seeds. Most of the light is wasted due to the length of the lights compared to the size of the seedlings.
