I use the 4ft 8 bulb T5 for a grow. With 5 Hashberry under them, I hardly have enough light. I had to add 2 single 4' T5's for the sides and that didn't quite cut it either. Like StinkyAttic recommends, I have a very thick canopy and have to turn the plants daily to ensure adequate light coverage. They are 4 weeks into flower but boy is it a struggle with the T5's. Now for veg, they were awesome. Make sure you use the 6500's for veg and 3000 mixed with 6500 for flower. I am using 6 3000 and 4 6500 for flower. This is my first T5 grow. I will keep everyone posted.
turksteelman Reviewed by turksteelman 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
