i have a 125 with center brace. i want MH, but cant afford a real good fixture and chiller, dont have central air, dont feel like paying a ton on my utilities. i will eventually get MH, when the time is right. until then: i was thinking T5 HO. a few questions...
-what is the difference b/w VHO and T5 HO? i know that T5 HO have a higher lumen output than a VHO, generate less heat, and are more energy efficient, but is the fixture the same?
-can i get two 36" fixtures rather than one 72"?
-i've heard that watts/gal isnt how to determine your lighting, its more of a PAR thing. many of the 36" fixtures i've found are 4X39 so with two of those fixtures i'm only looking at 312 total.
any ideas would be very welcome. thanks.
