Looking good PF...
I've thought of trying the 11 hour change in the last week thing but never got around to it...
Anyone else cut back to 11 hours in the last week or so...?
just bought my first 6 lamp T5HO fixture today and noticed this thread. I have read to page 11 and am impressed! This is my first grow. 4 plants in a 2X4X8' closet. Hoping this thread helps me out!
Quick Question. What kind of temps are you guys seeing? Right now I am at 75* room temp and 80.5* at soil level. This spot on?
Man, I'm loving this thread, it's really impressive to see what some of you guys are doing with T5s, it's amazing.
So much in fact that in my recent contemplating of how i'm going to set up my own head stash grow i'm really leaning towards a t5 set up.
So i found this fixture on home depots site. ViaVolt 2 ft. 4-Bulb T5 High Output Copper Fluorescent Grow Light Fixture (Idk the rule of posting links but heres the product number nternet # 202985194)
How well do you think this would work with a mixed spectrum in a small scrog for personal use, could i expect, with a long veg, to see 2oz per pull?
Thanks in advance for and replys. I'll be lurking in the back pages somewhere
Temps sound normal... How much air flow you have going?
I ran 2 plants under mine and the pattern was full (scrog'd). You might want to consider the 8 tube fixture instead of the 6. The 8 tube will have 25% more lumens. 6 tube will grow something, but may not be as happy as with the 8. Takes longer too.
I've been wondering what would happen if you put an 8 tube on a 'mover'. How much the potency, time in bloom, etc would change. It'll be interesting to note what the results with the 6 tube are. Hell, might be just fine.
By the way,.. what are the actual measurements of the light?
One other reason for the 8 tube, is the 2 switches, so you can run 4 or 8 tubes, as needed for growing/vegging. The 8 tube unit is, from what i've seen and heard, the sweet spot.
well got home today and it was 88.* under the lamps. and 80* in the room. Going to have to rework the setup. I have 2 10"x4" Floor vent mounted at the bottom and a 4" 90CFM fan sucking at the top of the room plus a small 8" fan on high blowing horizontal across the lamps. I will have to tweek it this weekend. Might lower the exhaust down to the hood of the fixture. My girls have exploded though They are loving the T5's.
