if i veg clones (with topping) in a DWC for 3 weeks under four 2ft T5's, how big can i expect them to get??? i plan to perputuate tubs in 3 weeks intervals and looking for an oz per plant, flowering under a 1000 after 3 weeks of veg... is this a good expectation??? would the T5s be better then a 400MH for my 3 weeks of veg??? obviously genetics, skill and environments r factors to ur yield... so i have have those in check, can i expect an oz per plant running this set up and cycle??? any1 else run sumthing simal?? ur resaults???

Depends on the strain you're growing I have 2 genetics as of now my G-13 grows tall very quick as oppossed to my OG Kush it grows slow and bushy. also I would use that 400watter it's always better than T5's

ur growing in soil... hydro has a faster growth rate... and T5s arnt CFLs.. they r high output lights, they have there own ballest... thnx for the reply but i was lookin for answers from ppl who use this system

oops i meant to write t5, and yes hydro does have a faster growth rate , But if a genetic tends to grow fast it will grow fast regardless of how you decide to grow.

t5HO is still a flouro. ALL flourescent tubes have ballasts or are internally ballasted as cfls are. just fyi. and he is right the MH is bett

Do not know, 3 weeks is too short of time IMO.
well thast what im asking... maybe i should rephase this as wieght per plant isnt really what im after.. im after weight per harvest... i plan on doing 9 DWC tubs... each tub contains 6-8 plants... every 3 weeks, 3 tubs come and go so thats 18-24 plants every 3 weeks... im looking for a pound each harvest under a 1000 and a light rail for added coverage... but like i said ealrier, u dont run this system so u cant really say.... any1 who runs these think this plan is realistic???
