Take a good look @ CFL`s, cheap, bright, and easy.

We call big fat joint MUMMY FINGERS here in Costa Rica
use t5 for cloning, veggin, and if you have no MH, use them for your first 3 weeks of bloom (gets the plants ready for some intense blooming without the major stretching....)......hot tip, get a 1000w HPS! and grow some big bud!
T5 Bulbs each 5000 lumens........
1000W SHPS 145 000 lumens...........
Peace

Today's pics...It's a jungle out there boys!!
I will add my 2 cents about T5s. They rock.Quote:

The T5 did not have better growth, but neither did the HPS. On the whole, you really could not tell the difference if the plants were right under the light.
The big difference is that we never really moved the HPS and we had to move the T5s everyday, sometimes twice a day!!! The other problem was that you cannot stick plants on the outside. You drastically loose lumens with T5s compared to an HID light. So the plants on the outside of the HPS did wonderful, no stretching, but the plants on the outside of T5s did have rather long node spacing. But that is obviously our fault for trying to stuff so many plants under them.
I am very convinced they are a GREAT investment for veg. However for flowering I think they are a joke unless you have LSTed the plants like crazy. They cannot penetrate worth a damn.
However, if you get nearly the same or the same growth as an HPS, you must also remember that you use less energy and the heat is much more manageable with T5s compared to HID. I will continue to use them on fresh clones and most of veg.
Racerx, did you flower you plants with the T5?
more pics for today...
I've been reading this thread for a while, and can't determine if this is the way to go or not. I've never grown, but have a friend who's going to try to start up their own grow. I understand the electrical arguments, but am considering whether there are other reasons for the quality of growth with less energy. There is an article in the July/August 2006 of 'The Indoor Gardener' about these lights which some might find helpful making a decision.
Once someone attacked Tico for marketing, my friend went back to the HPS, which many people here seemed to swear by. After reading this article, I'm wondering if he made the right choice. I'd post a copy here, but I'm not sure about copyrights.
Some of the arguments in this article included reduced heat (which translated to reduced stress) and a better spectrum of light, closer to that of regular sunlight. They demonstrated two grows, one with HPS, and the other with the T5.
Post the link...Id like to read that!!
Sorry, I don't have a link - it was in a magazine. The magazine's web site doesn't have articles, just a promotion for subscriptions. It can be found at www.indoorgardenermagazine.com
I picked up a free copy from a local hyrdo store. Given that they charge for subscriptions and back issues, I'm guessing that they would not appreciate my making a copy of this article to post.
Well, we all sure would love to see the article. And I'm certainly not going to subscribe or pay for a back order to read that one article. Therefore, while it sounds exciting, it is really of no use to us if we cant see the article. :) Why dont you summarize it and give some of its key points? That would help. Thanks.

Edit: I mean, I suppose you hit the big ones in your 2nd to last post about the reduced heat and better spectrum, etc, but it would be nice to see the article with pics. :(
I had to break down the box that my plants were in since they were getting soo big...here's some updated pics!! Enjoy!!
TGF,
I do not want to get myself, or the board owners into trouble by posting copyrighted material. I can add to the statements I made previously, that they also claim that the plants grown under the fluorescent lamps were also healthier, and that relocating the plants from indoor growing to outdoor growing resulted in better survivior rates. The fluorescent lamps resulted in no lost plants during the transfer, compared to 60% loss from the 1000W sodium lamp.
I agree that it would be helpful for everyone considering this type of light for their grow, to see the article. That's why I posted information about it, so people could make informed decisions. If you have a local hydro shop near you, I would imagine they have a copy of it there. I'm still unsure which is better. I'd like to see how things go when ticoblunts' grow gets to the flowering stage.
ticoblunts - nice job :thumbsup: hope you get some nice buds from that crop!
No I hear ya man. Not asking you to violate any C laws at all. Hell, no. Thanks for the info, though. I guess we'll all just have to keep our eyes on tico's thread. If those lights can do as well flowering as they do vegging, I'm most definitely gonna be in the market for one. :thumbsup: Thanks for the heads up, mang.

Not to take sides with passthatshit and tico but read post #1 then #79 tell me what you get from it.
:confused:What?:confused:Quote:

Secondly, What does post #79 about the CSI episode have anything to do with post #1 other than they both mention the lights?
So, what exactly did you mean when you posted that? Or are you just :stoned: and confused?? I think you need to read the thread a little more closely. :p
Thanks. :D:D:D

WHACHU TALKIN ABOUT WILLIS????......:confused: :stoned:Quote:

OK both of you need to quite smoking that green crack...its getting to you!! If you think my thread is full of holes the dont read it!! Ive seen your plants PTS and to be honest with you I see why you would b jealous!!
What am I jealous of? What's there to envy?
I have no desire to be a light salesman :dance:
OK Buddy you got me....U finally found out who I am....I'm a SALESMAN !!! Yo man get off it bud!! Im just here to document my grow and show people my progress while Im at it !! Go smoke a bowl and chill !! Opinions are like assholes every has one!! I respect your opinion that Im a salesman but Im possitive as time goes by the public will see that Im not !! Have peace my brother...its there just need to look way down deep!! You need to keep the acusating Bush mentality in the USA...we are not talking nuclear bombs here its just some plants...so believe me or not i really dont give a flying FUCK!!
Sorry for the rambling...little stoned here!!
What do you have against Americans?
Why isn't your thread in Spanish?
By the way, I was born in Europe. :)
Very good questions...My thread is not in Spanish because of the fact that English is more of a Universal Language tha Spanish!! I really have nothing against American persay...Im against the American mentality of always wanting to pick a fight...Where you were born has nothing to do with anything...judging from you attitude and the fact that you have an american flag in your country space pretty much tels me all I need to know and proves why i dont like the American Mentality!!
By the way, I was born in the USA!! California to be exact!! You can keep that country!! Costa Rica is the place for me!! No army and no worries!!
PURA VIDA BUDDY
PURA VIDA :thumbsup:
How do you know I'm from the States?
LOL...I will judge by your first choice of flag!! JE JE JE SMOKE ON BRO!!
ticoblunts thats an awsome setup you got going there i was just wondering i have been researching growing but not much hydroponics mainly soil. But when i saw your post that was the nicest and cleanest looking setup for a closest grow. Do you think there is some way you can explain your method to a new comer like myself. Such as a drawing of what you did. I dont know if this is the right forum to be be explaining that or not if so please just tell me how i can setup my closet to be exactly like yours. thank you
hey rustafa,
ill be more than happy to help....i am using a 20 plant aeroponic system with 8 plants in it...As far as light I use a New Wave T5 4ft 8 bulb sytem...all warm bulbs. I also have a 15" standing fan to move the stale air...I placed my plants one in every other hole too allow some room for grow.... As far as nutrients I use some local stuff that is a two part sytem that is used throughout the whole grow...in addition to the local stuff I add in Fluorlicious Plus!! These plants are from clone and vegged for about tree weeks from first sign of roots...I hope this will help you.. Feel free to ask any other questions!!
How many total lumens are you getting? What kind of harvests is your partner getting, and what seems to be the down sides from your point of view if any at this point to using the T5's?
Keep it up
Adieu
See the thing about my post was to see who was jiving who. I didn't mention that I was agreeing with passthatshit or tico. I wanted to see who would take offense to it first and maybe that was the guilty party. Just a little something I seen on CSI. The post could have been about tico being right by giving us an example of how popular and effective the lights are when seeing them on the show and passthatshit was just jealous.. Or it could have been about tico tring to beef up his pitch about the lights. Depending on who side you are on, you will see the wrong in one or the other. Will the guilty party please stand.
P.S. I'm just having some fun. Tico when i begin to grow again I will need your advice.
hey bluebear, I really dont know exactly how many lmens im getting...Id have to look that up for you...My buddy got an oz a plant using 5 clones that were not vegged under this lamp...only bud cycle...I must add that the clones were only vegged one week do to another buddy of ours' fuck up...but they still came out great!! His grow look nice and now mine looks even better so we will just have to wait and see what these buds are gonna look like. As far as drawbacks...I would have to say you really have to watch the stretch with these lamps...plants tend to stretch fater with these lights...lights had to be moved twice even three times a day during the early stages of budding (growth spurt). To be honest with you i like to speak for myself and what I myself get from this light, not my buddy's previous grow...I can rate the vegging process at a 10+ on a scale of 1-10 with these lights...Im hoping the bussing is ust as good for me...I wil keep you posted as we go along!!
yo sweetcandy, I like the mind games...My buddy had already purchased the lamps when one night he called me to flip on CSI...low and behold there was a growroom full of them on the CSI episode. I think I calmed PassThatShit down a little...had to show him the path to inner peace....je je je je Any advice I can give a fellow grower is a pleasure!! Have a great day and a Fine smoke!!
So did you figure out who's jiving who? Was your post offensive? And if so, to who? I was not offended by it. If you're implying that I'm jealous of Tico's grow, you are far from knowing what is true. I'm constantly giving props on here to growers that do a good job. I smoke when I please, so there's no jealousy here.Quote:

That is not the way to lead someone to inner peace. Do you really think I'm the only one who felt that way about your first post? Unlike others, I'm not afraid to speak my mind. And just for the record, I'm not saying your setup is not good, I just think you're hyping it up. Why not do a little research and post the lumens?
Well pass that shit dont u think a good SALESMAN should know exactly how many lumens his product puts out....I think i should b fired asd a salesman!!
