I have seen the Hydrogrow 21X Pro as a main light source (for a single plant in a 34" height x 14" deep x 24" wide micro grow cab) but curious on what people think of adding vertical mounted 2' length T5s on 4 sides. Seems like the 21X is a great little rig but the sides and lower bud sites might need more light. Anyone done anything like this?
still mulling this one over. A couple things I have considered are the following (4) 2 foot T5s mounted vertical in each corner Those flat aerogarden cfl bulbs with the little plug in socket a better (bigger) LED fixture 2 cfl bulbs mounted in flex arm socket fixtures next to the existing LED 21X other options?
sorta' like a "tron-box"...lol....(phototron)......i've got a small veg cab that has a ho t5 setup vert style with some additional cfl's for up top....seems to work just fine for me....
From what I have seen, the 21X gives some pretty good results, so whatever is added it will just be the frosting on an already pretty darn good cake. The easiest way to add some supplemental light in this small cabinet seems like it will be 3 or 4 vertical T5s (24"). With all the new LED household bulbs available, there might be some possibilities with a couple of added LEDs as well. But I am thinking the T5s will be the way to go if I want to get more light in to the lower nodes the easiest way. Anyone know the best bulb for the T5s to use (brand/spectrum)? I guess a combo of 2 veg and 2 flowering spectrum would work...or just use all 4 bulbs only for flowering cycle. any thoughts on what to do here?
I am procrastinating in purchasing Product Number: GL-GB-2F1L-T5 from HTG. What I like about it is you can select different bulbs at the point of purchase. Right now my micro cab is in flowering so no need for a veg light, which they and others sell. www.htgsupply.com Product-GrowBright-2-Foot-Single-Lamp... ... GL- GB- 2F1L- T5

wait wait... did i get this right ? the 21x pro light OP mentioned is a 36W led grow light which costs 250$ ??????????? holy crap thats so over priced. Get a different pannel or better yet make your own. I would def go with supplemental lighting from the sides, be it t5 tubes or more leds.
way over priced......t5's are the way to go....leds are still pricey especially the 300 watt tri-band new cost me almost 500 buckies.....but heat is my primary concern so to me its a small price to pay..... Sent from my ZTE V768 using Grasscity Forum mobile app
