Lighting T5 or Cob?

[ohiogrown]

What do you suggest I use for vegitive growth? I got one of the 6 bulb T5 fixtures and I got some cobs. Which one would work the best for vegitive? Or should I run both? Also is there any reason to run the T5 during flowering? I'm going by the suggestion of one cob per plant and that's what I'm using now. I have this hardly used T5 collecting dust and I have been wondering if I should be using it or if I should just stick with the cobs. I would love to hear what you guys think?

Good day ohio brother . ohio here myself. T 5 is ok for veg, but Its always good to have more power. How many cobs u have ? And how many plants u trying to grow. U have to remember the t5 is a big unit and the cobs only cover a small area.

My opinion is this . the more power u can throw at em the better. keep your variables in line and u will do well. I veg with 1000 watt metal halide. And hps,led for bloom

Thanks for the reply! Your plants look lovely. Right now I'm just getting going. I'm in a 5x5 tent. I just have 4 at the moment because that's all the cobs I own. They said it was equal to 600 watt hps.

I haven't done much research on em. But that sounds kind of high. I don't see one cob making 150 watts but who knows lol. There is so many lighting options. I don't care about Alex bill. And what I have raises my bill a 100 a month. Big deal lol. So I'm happy. U being in a tent I guess u should be ok.

I got the autocobs that a vendor on this site sells. The website says it's like 55watts at the wall but equal to 150 hps.

I use my cobs from seed to harvest and haven't had no stretching or nothing I live them.

This is where where I read it. https://cobshop.net/shop?olsPage=products/autocob-55

Maybe I'm not comprehending what they are saying. I really dont know much about it. But it seems to be working pretty nice.

Believe the hype /\ !!! 600w cob beats out 1000w hps
