Get the light really close to the canopy, and keep the canopy continuous by putting them close together. Foot-tall plants are kinda big for flouros but if your goal is to ultimately put them under a halide or sodium light, then fine. The smaller plants will be better suited to that fixture.
stinkyattic Reviewed by stinkyattic on . t5 Questions... Just got a T5 and I have a few new girls. They are about a foot tall, just topped... the T5 should be right on these ladies correct? The meter have has a 500 and 5000 setting, and I'm getting 35 (10X) so 350 light candles out of 500. Is this enough light for these babies? I'm also getting forty more babies tomorrow, small ones. The T5 I have has four lights in it... is this enough to cover all the babies? What type of light candel intensity am I looking for? I figured I would leave Rating: 5
