Wheres the T5 threads?

[pr0fesseur]

T5 doesn't seem to be very popular however i think it deserves its own sub-forum no?

I have been working hard and diligently trying to show the strengths that the T5 world has to offer.

Nice grow. I wish i could afford a set up like that.

those pots look cool, but their gonna be a bitch if you ever have to transplant.

Actually not really the pots come apart with a seam.... theres a little green knob you unscrew it and they pop off! leaving the dirt in a nice clean bundle..!

This setup is actually cheaper than you think ... the pots are 4$ and the light is 160 plus bulbs @ 20$ ea

I got two 24" Sunblasters 6400K and plants are super healthy and also super small for 60days (only 4-5" all four of them). Started 0/24 for 2wks since at 6/18.

Just seen a 28 day old plant and its WAY bigger. Don't figure, everything else is by the book.

Do you really think all the different spectrums is helping?

 

[pr0fesseur]

you see my write-up? and the link in my signature? its already proven science.. look at my growth! look @ the dark green color and VERY little nutes! check my thread to see what im talking about!
My plants r 6 eeks old u tell me if the spectrums help or not?

 

[grannybonger]

one of these full spectrum is SUPPOSED to have all of what you got, what gives? Plants are healthy, bushier than yours but half the size.

looking good! I do my mothers under t5s and just added the 4ft t8 today. was using 2 hydrofarm 2ft 2 tube t5's. now using those as side lighting and have the t8 on the top.

dont know what shape your plants are in but if you want them taller trim the bottom branch or two that encourages them to grow taller. if you toped it or are bending it, it encourages it to grow bushy.

again read https://www.rollitup.org/indoor-growing/358190-led-without-leds-my-first.html and you'll understand! those "full spectrum lights are bogus!
This is the spectrum of your bulb..

and mine

they are small and bushy because your lights are so close + plenty of blue light, they do not need to stretch upwards if it has all the light it needs right where it is at.... move your lights 5-10inch's higher, Then lower to same distance to stretch and then bush back out. The full spectrum is making the plant stay where it is at and bush out its very healthy looking. mess around with the lights to achieve your personal goals

They are bushy because i train them... and top them... i have 14 topsites and as many upshoots from branches. the mainstems are thicker than my finger.. these plants are about 8 weeks old. and in their first week of flowering.

i have a thread using all t5s bro I been using them for years and love them! got fourteen 4 foot bulbs in the flower room link is in my sig and last update is on page 46

havent messed with the blue n red bulbs but have had great results with 6500k n 3000k bulbs.

I asked before about a T5 sub forum and was told to post in the CFL forum....T5s are NOT CFLs....I agree, I don't think the T5 gets much love or respect here.

If I may ask, what size airpots are those?

 

[hyroot]

here is a side by side comparison of a t5 with coral bulbs vs a 1k with an eye hortilux. They are 5 weeks apart. Im liking the t5 much more. Both lights do bleed a little into each side. thats all the room I have. Also I have since lowered the t5 and put the ducting back up on the 1k. was doing maintenance and cleaning .

I will document all this to put an end to t5 haters. the t5 is so much more brighter than my 1k

using 3 gal pots and feed guano tea thats it
