T5 HO for veg & flower

I am building a super stealth cabinet for a friend and have to go with T5 lights due to heat issues.

What bulbs should I use for veg?
What bulbs should I use for flower?
How often do I need to change the bulbs?

I do believe there's a couple HOT5 threads

The go to is
v- 6500
f- 3000

but young plants root development benefits from more red than in 6500s, so 5000 or combine (mix) some of the 65003 with 3000s to get a similar result

The problem is when you don't know, how can you know whether you are getting the best advice? Trust no one, including me

You can also get GE 4100k daylight bulbs for a balanced spectrum for the whole grow.

I have not tried them yet. I use stock 6500k t-5 for veg. I like them for the compact growth and large leaves they seem to grow for me.

If I was to use the tents for flower with the same light fixtures I would go half and half 6500k and 3000k for more vigourous growth in veg and a better flower spectrum.

I limit height in veg and flower with multiple HID lamps in a seperate room here.

That was what I was actually looking for, I saw it awhile ago and couldn't find it again after the DNS attack.
