What is Reddit's opinion of Apollo Horticulture 2 FT 6400K T5 Fluorescent Grow Light Bulbs - Pack of 5?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

It's missing a bulb. Can't seem to find the brand name replacements. But these are only $15. But they say 6400k. Have you bought replacement bulbs yet if so which and from where?

In my experience T5s are fine for vegetative plants, but flowering/fruiting plants have lackluster yeilds under them. This is the kind of bulb I'm using: http://www.amazon.com/Apollo-Horticulture-6400K-Fluorescent-Light/dp/B00K36YIRM?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00

It's all on the imgur page :)

$150 is the everything new price, but a lot of the supplies would be pretty easy to find second-hand!

Roughly 3.5 square feet of indoor grow space. If you have short plants, you could add a 3rd shelf and get 5 square feet for about $50 more.

The grow boxes are sitting on the cross-supports while the plants are young, and can be lowered onto the shelves once the plants get taller. Max height space is approx 15" in this picture.

The light fixtures come with 2700k 14w bulbs which seem to give a pretty good amount of light, but once the plants are established, I'll probably switch to a fuller spectrum , higher wattage bulbs like these: http://www.amazon.com/Apollo-Horticulture-6400K-Fluorescent-Light/dp/B00K36YIRM
