would placing t5 lights vertically work? t5 vs cfl?

  1. Hey guys another thread...basically because its a saturday and i'm procrastinating like crazy.

    Lighting is one of the most complicated things to me in getting my grow setup besides soil.

    I have a 1 1/2' x 1 1/2' x 3' high grow cabinet...and what i was looking into doing is using either this:

    4x
    HTG Supply - 2 Pack of GrowBright 2 Foot Single Lamp T5 Light

    or this:
    2x
    HTG Supply - 2 Foot 2 Lamp PL-55 Tek Lamp

    basically I wasnted to know if I could place 4 individual single t5's like in the first like at each corner of my cab or would it be better to place 2 of the t5's from the second link...one on each side because it has more light.

    would I even need a small cfl overhead if I used t5?
     
  2. plants grow towards light, so they will lean towards the sides, CFL's might be the way to go for such a small space
