Most places want 80 bucks a tube for the blue ones, but one website is offering the blue tubes for 32 bucks a piece.

the girls are just starting thier fifth week and so far so good.
very easy to tell the two distinct phenos of this cross breed now.
The taller ones lean more towards the appearance of the Lemon Kush and the shorter much more like the Bubba.
Alternating Bloom Tea and water now,no more seaweed.
Here are some pics!
its now 1/2 way through week 6.
Bottom leaves are starting to yellow off as expected,pulling them off as they reach more then %50 yellow.
This Badboy lighting seems to be working really well for a T-5 system,buds are stacking well,plants are staying healthy.
I am now reducing feeding strength of Bloom Tea,with one feed this week and the last one will come early next week,then on to straight water for ten days or so.14 days if they take a bit longer to ripen.
My red spec bulbs are finally in the mail and on thier way,but I may just stick with the blues till end of crop,as there is so little time left and they seem to be doing well enough as is.
Not sure if I will stay with T-5 for full next crop,or if I might try out the Quantum 600 didgital ballast I have just to compare results.Would mean rebuilding my room yet again LOL
Here are some pics from yesterday. . .
looks good man your gonna get a nice crop! when are you planning on starting flushing?
One more feed next week and then they will go on straight water.Quote:

For this entire crop from seed to harvest I will have used less than 1/4 litre in total of nutrients.(Seaweed ,Bloom Tea and Soil supplement.).
Thanks for checking out my thread.
Seventh week is just starting.
It looks at this point as if I am going to get two seperate harvest times.
The plants are Bubba and Lemon crosses,and some are short ,showing a higher Bubba cross the rest are tall,showing more of the lemon Pheno.
The taller plants are noticably less mature than the shorter ones.
So the Bubba ones will come down end of next week,or beggining of next,and the taller ones are going to be about ten-fourteen days behind.
They all had a good dose of Bloom Tea on friday and that will be the last food they see. . . time for straight water.
Leaf degradation and loss is accelerating now,which I expected.
All in all I am quite happy with the way this T-5 experiment is going,havent decided yet if I will run another show on T-5 all the way through or if I am going to switch to my Quantum 600w digi ballast for the next run.
Okay. . enough chatter. . here are some pics!
Well,thats the end of that one.All the plants are down and trimmed.
I will post weights and pics when it is dry.
Thanks to everyone that participated in the thread.
Looks yummy. :) Good job. Can't wait to see the weight results.
nice grow...congrats...:thumbsup:
