I have a t5 set up but its a 4 foot 8 bulb, obviously too big for a micro grow, I have never used it I bough it when i was using my entire closet to grow, If I could find the right 2ft setup i would consider trying them I have always wanted to try tubes, and I keep seeing great grows with t5's.......
yeah dude, i gota find a danm camera.

hey bigd what kind of nute problems r u having? is it an over dose or under dose? you might wanna try magical by technaflora in low doses(not what da bottle says! i use it every once in a while when eva i see any type of deficiencies) if your having a problem with calcium, magnesium, or iron this will sure give u a fix!
its deficiencies, either, cal mag or iron, I switched to tap water from R/O it got a little better, but still not gone, I mixed up nutes yesterday and I added 1/4 tspn of epsom salt so we will see if that works.

oh i see now. well remember that sometimes its takes up to two weeks untill u actually see the deficiencies correct its self and also the leafs that were affected will not heal. the spots will stay on there for the plants whole life.just ck out the new growth for any signs of the difiencies and if their fine then your ok. i myself have been using tap water for about a year and have achived better results then when i used ro/distilled water. peace bro.

Sorry guys i was really busy with the holidays and all, neglected my journal and my plants and lost alot of clones, I did get some new seeds and finally got some good nutes ...Floranova bloom as i understand it its basicly the lucas formula in one bottle I read a post from Lucas on one of the boards recomending it, so I will use it at 1/2 strngth for veg and early flower and full strngth for late flowering along with my organic soil mix, I should be doing fine............so the grow is still going but I am at least 30 days from another harvest, my revegs are going great and they will be new moms, so I am closing this journal out and will start a new one soon same sog with the better nutes and different strains look for it in the cfl section thanks for all the support guys..............

LOl I read It All Im Pretty Sure Skimmed All Post That Wasnt Your Bigd... But How Much Many plants Have You harvested And How Much Did You yield Dry Weight??? Cuz From What i got You Only Harvest Like 4 Plants And Only A Few Nugs? Am i Correct. I Think You Doing A good Job On What You Planned. But maybe Ill Shoot You An Idea... Now that you Kinda got Your Preputueal Going You Should build Anothe Cab To get Some Real veg Time In 30 Days And that Will Push Your yeild Per plant To Like Triple What your yeilding Now.. And Just incorpate One At A time Till They All been veg Thirty Days And bam You Still Got The Same Cycle Going Just With Nicer Plants,, And For Hieght Just SCOg The Hell Out of Them. But im Still A Hella Newb So Maybe Im Dreamin...

Hey bro, grow looks like its improved quite a bit since the last time I chimed in way back when this was still a micro hempy.
I spotted a couple minor issues that may improve things. One the lights, you could throw in a couple day lights in the cab
about 2-3 that spectrum will help if you still have the stretching issue. Second I dont think you have a def in nutes more
looks like a lock out or nute burn looking at how the ends curl over almost like a claw. Might be from a build up of salts.

Other than my two cents, I like the micro sog idea, im working on the bugs in mine. Just built another cab for mother, clones, and
a bit of vegging. I just have to get the timing down packed cause its way off at the moment.

I would post pic but they are too big, not sure how to resize at the moment.

Good thread, I found it inspiring. I too am undergoing a cfl micro grow 12/12 from seed. Had tuff times in the first two weeks, now the are thriving! The micro scrubber is awesome I am trying to finish mine up right now. If things go as planned I will be through flower in 45 days. It is soon but I have to leave where I am staying, so time is short on flower
