in your case i'd probably go with halides as well.

if you do fancy 1W LED though maybe sell a few organs for something like this:

Metrontech is on a distinguished road
Default Found a great source

I found a great place in Edmonton Alberta called T & T, hydrophonic

They have great prices and all sorts of lighting

I think I will go with a 6 bulb T5 HO light setup

For $240 that's the best I can find without dealing with the heat of Halide. It comes with 6 54W 6500K bulbs. I'll prob put my 2 10k I have now in

Any suggestions?

yes get rid of all the bulbs lol , google or make a post on here asking bulb combinations that people use and you'll find most are 10000k and higher

6500 is very very very yellow
