Default Re: Lighting for the winter

i ues the wide spectrum T5 florecents there vary cheap only 56wats iv been uesing them for about a year now and most of my plants have done spectaculerly under them as a mater of fact if had to move them up a bit as they were to intens for some of my more shade lovong plants my Ae Ae has never been outside and has only been grown under theas lights its one of my fastes growing Bananas. you can get realy nuts with lighting but realy for the bucks the plane old T5 flroecent grow lights are the best value in my opinan and there the most ecanomical to run and in thes times of high energy cost one has to be practical most plants are vary adaptibal any way they dont know the difrince betwen t5 and HID or what ever you are uesing however they do know the difrince betwen hot light and cold light and most dont like the hot lights so agen T5 wich are vary cool you can tuch them with you hand and not get burnt
