    864w of t5 tubes or 1000w hps hotter?

    yeah i keep coming back to the hps myself, i'm just trying to give the t5ho a chance, the one benefit i theorize is the fact that the area is only 3ft by 3ft which would give the t5ho's an upper hand on the heat side but i dont know, what do you all think?

    864w of t5 tubes or 1000w hps hotter?

    yes but make note they are not t5s they are t5ho's this setup gives 80,000 lumens with an equal mix(8 - 3000k and 8- 6400k)

    DIY HUMIDISTAT(humidify/dehumidify) THERMOSTAT(heat/cool)

    is that a question or a suggestion? the pole and throw arrangement are dependent on which style of thermo/humidistat controller you have available, now say your scenario is like this, you have a both controllers with 24vac control and the environment units are all 120/240vac you could use a DPDT
