that t5 will do a better job right now for veg and it's cheaper to run. let them veg out with the t5 and flower under the 600w. 20" is far..... here's a pic under a t5 8 bulb. this is what you want
How far should I keep the t5 bulbs from the plants? I heard its okay to veg under the HPS? How much do you think I'll yield off each one if I start flowering tomorrow?
your plants will tell you how far...with a 8 bulb t5 for your size plant I would say foot or less....the bigger they get the more light you can hit them with...you could veg under hps but you wouldn't want to. they get tall ...that t5 will get them bushy ...then flower under hps
you want tight nodes....those huge spaces between nodes are pointless! just take up room
start lst ing those thing down....like so... get them growing a few more tops
next time 2 plants maybe 3-4 and you'll feel better... veg is where you train your plant...very important to getting the right amount of tops...if not she'll be tall and lanky.... here's one 5×5 plant.
Those look nice how long did you veg those for?? I have a good amount of tops Atleast 5-6 on like 4 of the plants. I was thinking of doing SOG next time how many plants u think I could do in my 5x5 with the 600w
I would do 2 plants... my veg was about 6-8 weeks...but now I have a room full of veg I just pull from...they been in there awhile now..
5x5 room Is a bit big for a 600w. 4x4 is perfect for a 600w
lol a foot.....I'm sure 5×5 is the same as 4×4. it all depends on your hood.
yes..no problems. welcome to riu....good people here you'll learn alot
