Sir - I am doing my 1st grow, under T5's. I have the Sun-Blaze 4' 8 bulb.

I'm on a budget. I plan to get the recommended bulbs for my next grow. But for now...

I am using the bulbs that came with the unit. I bought 8 of the red bulbs at the same time. I am about 2 weeks from the 12/12 switch.

Question 1 - any point in leaving any of the blue bulbs in when I go to bloom?
If so, in what position (1-8 )?

If I find some cash, what would be the order of putting in the recommended bulbs if I can only do one at a time? And in what position (1-8 )?

Thank you, Sir!

Updates everyone!! tonight after lights out i shall take some pics and give everyone updates... i have been MIA on business and have to work to pay the bills... EVERYONE here is doing a great job showing the plausibility of these great lights.! let the T5 revolution begin !!!
 
Pr0 how viable are the T5s when hung vertically? I read this entire thread today, but don't quite remember the vertical talk. I'm a noob, but am trying to figure out some kind of vertical and aero type of grow, somebody posted over on another forum a thread titled "heath inspired test prootype (aero)" which is in the right direction for me... but I wanna know if I can efficiently do something like that with a cluster of T5's hung vertically? Or is there some advantage to using MH or HPS bulbs in that fashion?

Off the top of my head, I'm thinking that with a cluster of bulbs (lets say 8) hung vertically you would not really be able to get equal light in all dimensions, ie. you may only be able to grow on say, two sides. Know what I mean?
 
104_4151.jpg I cant wait to see some new pics Pr0! I seen PetFlora say that the Red Suns are back in stock. would you still prefer that? This is my first grow but I think that some of them are looking fantastic!(pic)

ladies are coming along... its been so hot i have no choice but to use AC to cool my tent...and the temps are killing me!
 
yea i know its only part of the spectrum, I Just wondering if the Red suns were a better choice for the red bulb. I have a few 2-bay fixtures that im not using.. what 2 bulbs would you add if I allready have my 8-bay filled with

UVL 454 w/internal reflector
Fuji Purple
UVL Super Actinic w/internal reflector
ATI T5 12000K Aquablue Special
UVL 75.25 w/internal reflector
Fuji Purple

If I use my 2-bays as side lighting should I use the UVL HO super actinic 420nm?

i would consider using the fuji purple and blue plus...IMHO more red for flowering
Think of the fuji purple as your "base" build off that..
