More room for my roots to spread out. It is a pain if you like to lollypop your ladies though hard to get to the back.

Ahh... I thought so, yes, I love Coco coir too!
Your clone setup is sweet as well... are those regular T5s or VHO T5s? Do you have any recommendations for T5 fixtures? I have been thinking about the Quantum T5 BadBoy at $135/4" 4 tubes, what type of price range do you think is reasonable for T5 fixtures?
I get it now... the roots all have room to grow together and intermingle... pretty cool!

All T5 setups are too ridiculously over priced to me..
I can build a 6bulb T5 for $110 whereas retailers want much more...
Build it yourself, much cheaper

Here goes a ballast. Then you need to get light caps, and a reflector.

No worries
I cant remeber what caps. I know there a few different types depending on type of ballast

Lol, well okay, if you're cool with it.
But now that I think about it... i no longer build mine from nothing anymore... I made a deal with a metal fabricator, and can buy reflector setups that include ballasts and all for $100, bulbs cost from $2-$10 a piece, depending on what day it is, and how many I buy at a time lol... so it actually comes out to about $120 sometimes...

Thanx for the tip about those super tubs!I grow in coco,too(Burpees from Lowes)& have been looking for a tray for my HTG 20"x36"x64" tent for awhile now.By cutting off the lip of the super tub w/a utility knife(flipping the tub upside down makes it easy)i now have a custom fit tray that let's me enjoy the ease of passive hydro under a 400w CMH lamp.I have 12 plants in 6" square pots(room for 15 plants now,was using 2 smaller trays that had 6 pots crowded into each).I just mix a gallon or 2 of dechlorinated water w/nutes & pour it in the tray every few days.BTW,the tub was only $10.25@ my local Lowes,but i could only find one!
