Club T5

Next time snap the main stems and let them grow horizontal under the fixtures. This will allow you keep the bulbs closer to the majority of the plant AND grow bigger buds on the snapped part of the main stalks
 
Thanx, no 600 just a 6tube and 4 tube.. I did at a 300w equiv cfl at wk7 just to give a lil more side light.
They finished off round 7ft so i had to tie some over halfway thru flower.

Very impressive for a cfl and t5 grow..............congrats

Sorry for delay.. Was looking for tubes the bulbs came in, can't remember if they were 3500 or 2700..
Anyway, i started with 4-6500's 2-2700's during veg. ran that thru 2nd wk of flower then gradually switched out until i had the reverse 4-2700's and 2-6500's

Figures...........:)

I did that on another tray. The only thing is by the time i realized just how much more the main shoots were gonna grow the staulk was already big as your thumb near the top, and i would have just covered all side growths.
 
I topped her early on hoping that would help to even out canopy but she had her own plan,,
Thanx for the comments and advice guys, let ya know how the harvest goes,
 
Hey guys! i want to buy a T5 but don't know what to get a Hydrofarm designer fixture or a Quantum badboy t5, which is better?

The differences are basically irrelevant IMO/get which one is cheaper.............rememeber to get two smaller panels instead of one larger unit if the space allows it.....good luck
 
Just finished up my first experiment.
Hydrafarm 4 bulb T5. Got a local stor with a moving sale, everything it 15 - 50% off, got the light for $89.
Using an organic mix soil, and some FloraGro ... I can get the nutrients cheap too, any suggestions?

Still have some work to do, adding a couple vents and fans for intake/outtake as well as sealing up the light leaks ;)
Also going to be adding a second box with either another t5, or if airflow allows a 400W HPS for flowering.

Should probably do a grow log..

you should get rid of the cardboard, many hazards, although some people use it, its wise not too
 
Nice to see a t5 club thread. Im currently flowering under a 600w hps in a 4x4 tent and veg under a sunbkaze 48 and sunblaze 44 in a 4x4 tent. Last weekend I just bought a 4x2 tent to veg so I can run a side by side. 600w hps vs 648w of t5. Both tents and all ventalation are identical. I think it ill be fun to see how it turns out! Im buying another sb 44 for my 4x2 tent and if t5 keeps up ill lose the hps and buy another 44 &48. To keep it fair ill do a small scale sog in each tent. I use ffof soil, gh nutes flora series, cal/mg, liquid and dry kool bloom. Stuffs getting delivered this week so I hope to get this started soon!!!
 
Picked up a sunblaze 44 with 6500k bulbs from cl tonight.... $60!!! Virtual sun needs to hurry up with my fan/filter im ready to do this
 
This is for all the people who hate on T5s
