New Wave T5 Grow...IM NOW A BELIEVER !!

im thinking of starting a t5 grow soon but its gonna be tough to save money... for the entire grow. itll take some time.

hey tico the pics of the second crop your growing look like theyre growing under hid lites.

whys the light so far away and it looks brighter then before... are you still using the t5's..

if you already explained this then sorry... i didnt read every word on the posts.

im not sure if this was said but another advantage of t5's is they dont give off a heat signiture that would raise any suspicion through the eyes of the a infra red whatever.

i would like to build a custom setup with t5's... i dont want a complete set thats mounted together...

i visited specialty lights and i think i just need the ballasts the bulbs, the end peices and the stand offs but im really not sure.

if you know about that sort of thing... you the electrical parts. or if any one could tell me the parts that i need to make my own custom set up thatd be great.

nice plants tico

peace:thumbsup:

A fellow from Germany brought me over the latest Tek 8 bulb. Reading this thread is been great as I have had plenty of mistakes. These lights need to be 30 inches above the plants or they fry. I fried the first batch. They like to be centered under the fixture.
One thing I will say is the plants grow incredible fast. The clones not as much as the seedlings. I put 14 Northern Lights in 36 hours ago and they have all popped and started to go!

I only use the tek from growing and it does not take long. Amazing results. They get moved to a 1000watt HID for flowering. Pictures of the new seeds under Tek light. A chocolate thai top under the light. Make sure you have ventilation fan to exhaust as it is not the same as traditional lights and will get hot. HID is in a seperate closet. The hood is exhausted through a 6" air duct. THe room has two circulating fans as well as the exhaust. It can get hot.

I am too new to be using CO2 or anything. I just want to get my second batch through now that I have a better feel for the new Tek lights.

TICO BLUNTS those are some very nice looking plants how did you get them to grow so bushy like that?

is that just in its jans? or did you do something to make it grow like that

I've grown out a couple of small indoor crops with flourescents. I have a (4) lamp 4' 54 watt T-5 fixture with 3000K and 6500K lamps and 2 (2) lamp 4' 32 watt T-8 fixtures.
Shov's Afghani X Bog Grow

Shov's Bubblegum Grow also worked out very well. A very nice crop of stoney, mature (mostly cloudy trics) Bubblegum

I'm considering 400W HPS sometime. I'm sure it will work even better but I'll have to deal with the heat.

Haven't you heard? He claims it's the T5 that will do that even though he has yet to show us how he grows his plants so big before putting them under the T5? and then he disappears for harvest. :jointsmile:

I'm not saying anything against the T5, but I def wouldn't buy one based on this thread alone.
I would like to see Tico grow from start to finish to see the true results of the system.

Yo what up tico? Nice thread you got going. Its funny I found this thread today, because today I got rid of my 1000 watt HPS that was in my 4x4 homebox. Reason being it was way to fucking hot and was a bit overkill for what I needed Im just growing for me and my wife to have our own personal stash so we dont have to smoke that nasty brick weed anymore. Today I went to the Hydroponics store and traded in my HPS For the New Wave T5 8 bulb unit. There is no heat at all. I mean my homebox is at 80 deg compared to my HPS which was 96 deg last night when I came home and with the T5 I have my hydrothermometer about 8 inches away from my bulbs compared to 30inches with the HPS. I know the T5 doesnt have the penatration of the HPS but like I said its more suitable for what Im doing plus it will save on energy. Grow looks good, keep it up and ignore the haters. This light will catch on eventually, Do your thing boy!

There's a difference between someone who can see clearly and a hater. Do you realize that he hasn't posted in over 6 months?
He's missing in action AGAIN. I was VERY surprised that SO MANY experienced growers on here were giving him props while he was BULLSHITING his way through it. I never hated on the T5, I hated on Ticos' honesty.

On his first post, he claimed his plants were 2 weeks old. The next day, he claimed that they were 1 week into bud cycle.
Try to veg for 1 week and flower for 1 week and see if your plants turn out like the plants Tico posted on his first post @ 2 weeks old?

He insisted that he would make sure and follow through and post the results. But then he lost his computer and his bud and had nothing to show us. Came back shortly after with huge plants and ready to hype up the T5 some more. Once again, we did not see how he got started. And once againg, he disappeared for the harvest. Is it that difficult to spot a fraud?

His second ever post was a classic:

"I give the makers of the T5 a joints up !"

LOL! :jointsmile:
What'z up Tico?

I never said Pass the shit was a hater. All I said was ignore the haters, feeling quilty?:D
Just more of a keep your head up and keep growing was all I was trying to get across.
Are you infatuated with Tico or something? If you dont believe him or think its all made up bullshit then dont read his post. For me I dont care there are so many people lying on the internet these days that half of what you read has been exagerated or made up. I just like the fact that someone else was using the New Wave T5 system just like the one I just purchased. It's all good bro, hope to see you around the boards.:rasta:

Oh yeah one more thing. How in the hell do I get a signature under my post do I have to have a specific post count before I can do that? Thanks.
