Hey Experts! Im gonna try a T-5 grow entirely. I WILL have heat issues and I have plenty of time! This is my 1st indoor grow. I Now have (3) T-5 4 foot long approx 3" apart, using veg bulbs. "The word is close as possible"...Well..I fried my first 2 gals the 1st night. They were about 3" tall. Iv now added 2 MORE t-5's apporx. 6" down each side that pivot at the top so they swing "in and out" for side penatration. Its starting to get pretty hot in there..(5'X 7' X 8' high) room. Total (5) 4' twin bulb units total (10) 54 watt bulbs. I Will be growing Big Bud mainly. No ventilation at this time. If 10 t-5 put out this much heat?? Id hate to guess what a hps would do. Will this setup still work as good if I need to keep plants 4-6" away? I trying to get as many lums as possible....any suggestions...Thanks Red
