Are you planning on using any more light than that 1 four foot T5? I'm interested in the T5's to start a small mother/clone project but was thinking on at least 4 four footers overhead with cfl's on the sides. scribed bro to watch your progress.
Yeah man i got 3 T5's for now and a equil 120watt 2700kcfl
i plan on grabbin a whole bunch of 2700k's for my bloom period, the T5's work wonders in VEG i mean they grow like crazy, if you can reflect the light even just one T5 like you see i got hooks up gives enough light, before i added that cfl i fimmed my plant and the new shoots were growin out quite quick.
Right now i dont have my room fully setup, i have reflective poly and like i say more lights and that, im just waiting for my sprouts to get abit bigger then im going to put all the plants under 1 common light area,
so in the end ill be growin with 3 H.O t5's, which also work good for budding because they are full spectrum, meaning they got red light for the budding stage, but not as much red as a 2700k cfl, so im thinkin like 6 2700k 120watt equilent CFLS around the sides of the plants with reflecters and the 3 T5's for direct light downwards.
i grew last year with just my T5's and minimal reflecters and bad temp changes but still pulled off a great crop considering!
i believe T5's is the new efficent way of growing! they are bright enough too the point at if you stare at em your eyes are fucked for awhile so thats all i know and the plants like em quite abit, if you could stack T5's all in a closet, with bubble ponics you could pull off some serious buds for energy efficent growing
thanks for subscribing bro!
