9 week veg is a lot to ask from a T5 in my opinion. Whitebb is the seasoned vet though, if see if he would reply and go by his advice

I veg with 2 foot t-5’s and can do it in 6 weeks from seed. Then under 600w hps transplanted up from solo cup to 1 gallon and final 3 gallon for flowering. Averaging 5.5 oz dry nugs with very high quality.

Also using 18/6 veg 12/12 flower.

Don’t forget the benefit of the blue heavy spectrum is compact leafy plant growth. I don’t scrog. But if I did I would use hps for veg too. To promote stretching strong branches. Andnit would cut the veg time in half if you really mean 9 weeks. There is no reason to keep a plant in flower that long unless you are growing a tree.

Veg with an hps??? I could see maybe putting them un my flower room for a week on and 18/6 before i flip to 12/12 for stretch. I dont need to cut veg time at all im saying this is how much tine i have before rooms get cut and flipped. My strains i have going are 9 week flower to completion strains.

Thank you.
Yes. 100% honest on customer support. I emailed them and within 4-5 days I had the new ballast. They shipped it for free as well.

I used a mix of Agromax bulbs. 2-veg, 2-bloom, 2-pure par, 1-10,000k+uva and 1 generic 4200k.

T5 can grow some nice buds.
