T5 questions...

can a female plant that has been polinated produce good seed under my T5?

Will clones taken from a mom that has only ever seen T5 light do well or are they less vigorous...weaker... less likely to produce well?

Okay...to be more clear...in hopes of getting an answer...

I keep a mom under a T5. Before cloning from her i put her under some higher intensity light because i have read that it fires up the hormones and helps to make the clones push out the roots, as well as inprove vigour in the plants they will become. I dont know if that is true. Maybe just more bro science...but this is what i do and i do alright with it. But is it true?

And.. if this is true would it apply the same to a plant that you intended to pollinate? Would the higher intensity light produce better seed? Or does it matter?

The main thing a seed is, is a DNA collection. If the seed is ripe, it doesn't really matter (imo) what state the mother was/is in; Genes are genes.

This is a question for @RM3 I can guarantee he'll tell you t5's can do anything any other light can do. Spectrum plays a huge part but I'm sure when he see's the tag he'll be the best one to answer questions about those lights and anything pertaining to growing with them

Been usin T5's for years without any problems, both veg and flower and I breed so the answer to your question is ,,,,, no worries

I forgot youre the T5 king...shoulda just come straight to you...lol

Anyway...so no worries on the T5s, excellent. Thanks. It certainly makes my plan a lot easier.

While i have your attention... do you have a general rule of thumb for T5 watts per square foot for veg/flower?

Also... for my seed run... it seems that male plants take longer to show... but they must mature faster? You know, burst the sacs to spew pollen on the ladies in time for them to actually produce good, mature seed? Whats the time line for the reproductive process?
