T5 GROW LIGHT TIPS
“T5s ARE EXTREMELY efficient
and allow you to save money
on electricity while still providing
bright, powerful light.”
T5 grow lights are one of the best types of lights you can
use to grow any kind of plant, from vegetables to the most
delicate flowers. This is because T5s are extremely efficient,
allowing you to save money on electricity while still providing bright, powerful light. They also have features you can
customize to build the perfect set-up for any size and type of
indoor garden.
Many indoor growers are already familiar with the virtues of
T5s, but even if you know your T5 fixtures and more or less
know how they work, you might need help with some things,
because specifics like color temperature, hanging height and
light cycles might not be as easy to figure out.
First things first, for those of you who do not know the
basics, a T5 grow light is a tube-shaped fluorescent light that
is 5/8-in. in diameter. In terms of the light’s name, the “T” is for
tube shape, and the “5” is for the 5 in the 5/8 -in. unit of measurement. These lights are mainly used as additional or fullon artificial lighting for plants to re-create the natural light
spectrum. They can be used in many different environments
and conditions, from greenhouses to indoor gardens. Here
are some tips on how to use them to your full advantage.
