What makes a T-5 light High Output? Is it just the bulb type or the ballast? Or a combo of things? I figured just go to Home Depot for the T-5 fixtures (for veg room) and the grow shop for the bulbs ?

No, the more light the better. I am using 864 watts of T5's inaddition to two 600 watt HPS lights. You can't have too much light.
What type of lights/wattage are you using for your clones and Veg area?
\SD,
I started from seed and as soon as they hit the dirt they were under one of the 8-bulb 432 watt T5's. They loved it. Check out my journal and gallery. The T5's put out very little heat. I had one occasion that I had to leave them unattended for 2-1/2 days. The plants grew and some leaves wrapped around the bulbs. I unwrapped them and all was good. No burn at all. They are now recovering from a transplant and responding well.

I've had my eye on those 8-bulb t-5's. They are a bit pricy $230-265 with shipping. I was hoping I could get away with just a 4 bulb for vegging. You think I should just get off my wallet and get the real deal???

Where did you get your t-5 fixture from? How much? Did it come w/ bulbs?
