Would you recommend putting a 25w t5 about each monotub or just have it so its lighting the room up? I'm growing in a grow tent so I can control temperature easier. So I was gonna have tubs on shelves and a t5 over each tub.

A t5 for each tub would work fine but is not necessary. Plenty of other things you can spend your money on.

I already have 1 and would only need another. I only plan on having 2 tubs going at a time. Do you add any lighting to your setup?

I procured some 2ft LED lights at 6500k on Amazon. An 8 pack of them was 43 bucks. One per tub on a shelving system.

That's a lot of tubs. Can I ask what methods you are using to make that many tubs with ( I assume) not a lot of contamination? AGar to grain? Type of grain? G2G? #goals.

I was gonna go with LEDs but I've heard people went back to flouros because performance dropped. Leds will do fine but I'm leaning towards t5s

That’s insane! I count 28 here
Nvrnind you said 80 not 30...I can’t even fathom that... you’d think it would just be more practical to make your own climate controlled room at that point and just grow on racks and shit... like a giant tent
