5 gallon pots are big enough for cycle. with at least a reflector upgrade. Go with the raptors for your area. Your losing way to much light to canopy!
Hey jimmy. Thanks for chiming in.
5 gallons mos def not big enough i veg my ladies for 3-4 months.
17Gallons is where ive gotten my largest yields. 11onions on my 1 Quantum. On average i get anwheres from 6 to 10 onions dwpending on strain.My entire room is lined with Orca film. Including the roof. No light is being lost. I have curtains made with orca that i roll up when i take pictures..
Everybody always tells me that i need reflectors.. ive had way better results without them.. better air flow, cooler temps,happier bigger plants.
I was thinking about converting to 4 750 cooltubes instead of the 3 1000's im running now but thats in the future
When i do that im gonna be changing all my bulbs and ballast one time. Shit is pricey.. im going all nanolux ballast with badass bulbs..
Again brother thanx for chiming in and welcome to my journey.
Ohh yeah i still run the Agent Orange. Shit is one of my best strains. Smells like freshly squeezed orange juice. Not a big yielded compared to my other ladies but the smell and taste is worthy of my garden.
Btw. Im in promx hp with mycos.
Currently running no nutes only mycos teas for veg and flowering.
If your interested i will post my teas lmk.. stay safe and welcome
