Pro Tips

  • T5s are cheapest but run hot โ€” keep them 2โ€“4 inches from seedlings
  • LED panels use 40โ€“60% less electricity than T5s for the same output
  • Full-spectrum LED bars are ideal for veg and early flower stages
  • Set timers to 16 hours on / 8 hours off for most seedlings and leafy greens
  • Keep lights 6โ€“12 inches from the canopy and raise them as plants grow
