Obviously has no idea about the differences in techniques, tecnology and theory behind advanced PAR T5 growing, and your average CFL stealth cab grow or computer box grow. Obviously has no idea that there is an entire community of T5 growers who are hanging out on a hijacked grow log because there is no specific sub-category to post under. Ive heard nothing but complaints about the shitty quality of chinese LED fixtures, and how the majority of growers believe LED is a developing technology but is just not up to par yet. They have their own category to compain to each when their lights turn out to be a waste of money (Or if they have great success they can share what they did, because they have a dedicated category). We would like a place to post threads relating to our successes using PAR T5 techniques vsHID/LED etc... try to find anything under the CFL/fluorescents category without having to dig through a million bullshit cardboard box cfl grows using 50w total.
There is a community of T5 growers to support the category. IT would only help to promote growing and advancing the techniques behind T5's. T5's are being used on their own to replace HID lights in larger grows, this more than justifies a new sub-category. Obviously you want what you want but could shit on someone else and not blink twice. Kill the douchbaggery on Xmas and try not to dump on others today.

I would suggest if you really want the request to be taken under serious consideration, than make this thread grow big with info. show that a T5 sub-forum is warranted

Dont forget the T8's lol. as that is what I had to start with, Veged and sexed with the t8 worked great and i still use it for my auto's. I have a big T5 on the way for my veg tent. I am all for everything having it's own section as it kinda makes it a lil easier to find information when looking for it

ummm https://www.rollitup.org/indoor-growing/358190-led-without-leds-my-first.html <-- 1800 posts in 4 months and only a fraction of T5 growers are even aware this thread exists. Someone may see the heading for T5's and click on it then learn alot of info they may not have been able to find otherwise. IT WOULD ONLY HELP, AND WOULDNT HURT A THING. The Rollitup asshole popped in 2nd post and said uh yeah look under cfl's you have a fluoro spot already like the OP's an idiot and didnt see it. Some are just ignorant about T5's, and it sucks that some of those people are the admins.
T5 as its own category with a sub heading of PAR SPECIFIC T5...

well I use T5's for vegging. so I aint trying to hate on any T5 user..... but I wouldn't get myself worked up about if I can't get my request fulfilled at the time, I'd just keep chugging along, get more people to hop on that T5 train, build an even bigger following, and send another request. that asshole rollitup is the head honcho here, 
, so he usually has the last say. and I'm sure insulting him is not gonna help you in your quest to get a T5 subforum.

Lol maybe true, and Im far from worked up. Im just pretty enthusiastic about this lighting method that essentially takes the principles behind LED and makes it actually work without dealing with shitty chinese diodes with false claims of their wattage/output. Maybe Mr Rollitup isnt an asshole, that may not be fair, you cant blame someone if they're not fully aware of something... but I question what the harm would be to add one little link under the indoor growing heading. It would only make it easier to find info related to T5's.
