Hello
Can I get some advice as to when I should change my T5 light over to the 315 ceramic metal halide? My seedlings are about 9 days under the T5 and are looking to have a good start.

Keep them under the T5 and keep it close for a few weeks.

I would keep it under the t5 untill 2nd set of leaves come out then switch it, saying that i blast mine on 360w straight away and never have issues

Just don’t want them to stretch to the 315 metal halide.

You can veg for weeks under T5's. In fact that's what I do and then to the flower tent.

These were vegged under T5's. Those seedlings don't need to be under a CMH at this time. Like @hotrodharley said, keep the T5's close. No stretch.

Hello bro, Why didn't you start directly with the ceramic metal halide?
I have a #Lumatek aurora 315 watts LEC with dimmer , And it's without a doubt the best deal I could have done she makes buds like I've never managed to do!
Keep safe
