looking good yeah a lota ppl use umm ._<
I've had those same thoughts...about finishing with an HPS but for me even if I gota pay a little more for the t5... no heat issues and low power consump are ideal for my situation. I also would love to know if it can be done with satisfactory results.im planning on vegging with T5's and MAYBE usuing a 150w HPS for flower. Id like to use the flouros for flower though
I am getting the feeling that flowering with t5s alone has never been done, impossible or not worth the effort. I am starting to think I better get a hps 400w ready.Guys....if you're going to use t5 for veg you better have upwards of 200w plus for a few plants. I use 144w of mixed (blue and red) t5 for a couple of plants in veg and then go to a 400w hps for flower. HIDs are definitely the way to go for flower. But t5's are excellent for vegging, seedlings, clones, and mothers.
Yes im sure it can be done...but from what I have read the t5 takes longer and the results are loose buds. Can anyone show evidenceto the contrary?flowering with T5 has been done. Just search "T5" and there are a few people who have done it. You get better results with everything else, but its still possible. I figure once im done flowering with T5's, ill use a small HPS to flower, and ill use the T5's for side lighting
