T5 light setup flowering question??

[1weedz4]

Wussup dudes I have a quick question about my setup. I have the 4ft 8 bulb T5 lights with 6 plants and I am in my first week of flowering and I was wondering if I should use 4 cool bulbs and 4 warm bulbs or use 2 cool and 6 warm which do you think is better?

I think you should look at the thread "LED without LEDS....." by the "pr0fesseur" in the Indoor Growing forum before you put/buy any other bulbs. Seriously, you don't want to miss this thread.

Here's the link:

id say for flowering it would be best to use the 6 warm and 2 cool, jus to ensure dense buds u need that light that warmer spectrum

ok ya thats what I have in there right now ill just leave em. I saw some results with 4/4 and they were pretty good looking but I can imagine the buds bein much denser with 6/2. thanx.

These are not LED lights, but T5 floros that put out great PAR values. I am flowering under them right now, doing a 12/12 from seed. It'll be 6 weeks on Sunday. Had pistils at 4 weeks and trix on the leaves at 5 weeks.

Do you think your yield will be higher with those lights?

Comparable or less than an HPS.... what wattage aquairum t5 are you using? I have a four ft 280w t5...

I am using a 48" x 8 bulb with 54 watt aquarium bulbs. Also have 6 x 62 watt CFLs on the sides. Take a look at the link https://www.rollitup.org/indoor-growing/358190-led-without-leds-my-first.html . This thread has a ton of stuff about the bulbs, PAR values, all you would want to know about the bulbs.
