I have a 3' x 3' box and i was wondering if a 2' 24w 4 bulb t5 system be too much?

there is a belief that there is no such thing as too much light...

heat is what's the problem, whatever generates light generates heat. but t5's run cool so it's ok..

make sure you keep them a couple of inches above the leaves... look-up hanging yo-yo's. they're like 15 bux and they work like a charm to hang light fixtures.

u should get rid of the t-5's and get some cfls ... t-5's dont work so well when u begin to flower they work real nice for vegg but i suggest gettin cfls they work wonders
