Hello experts! I am just planning my grow room for the future nepenthes that I have always wanted and have a question on the lights that I need. I went to Home Depot today and found the following fluorescent lights: the first was a 6 bulb T8 at 32 watts each. The second was a 4 bulb T5 at 54 watts each. They are both four foot light fixtures. Which would be better for the nepenthes? I plan on this being a highland growing room. The T8 fixture was bright but the T5 was so bright that I couldn't look straight at it. Would that be too bright for the plants? I plan on hanging it about 18" above the plants, does that sound about right? Thanx in advance!,
