If I may make a point for all potential and current T5 users...
My personal observation, using my own cross is, genetic expression plays a huge role in the results.
I have 3 plants 35 days into flowering. The much smaller 2 barely have discernible trichs. The third one is ~ 6 times bigger cubically, and growing like a mofo, with bud size and trichs on a par with several other grows (different light sources). If it wasn't for the third one, I may not be too impressed with T5s, and I am using a hot combination of 8 @ 4ft aquarium bulbs
