how much weight

[killerweed420]

pretty impressive for only 12 weeks total and using t5's. how many watts did you use in your t5 setup?

Just curious. :jointsmile:

Mine has 16 4 foot bulbs in a 4X8X8 room with 5 plants.

30 bagseed plants from clone, LST with 4 week veg and 6 week flower yielded 5oz dry.

30 bagseed plants from clone, NO LST with 4 week veg and 6 week flower yield 7oz dry.

Veg under 3 Sunblaster T5's
Flower under 2 x 400HPS Hortilux bulbs.
Soil, Botanicare grow and bloom, molasses every watering in flower 1tbs/4L.

(gonna try 100 clones next, hopefully it's directly proportionate)

well i harvested and out of my 6 babies i got 9 oz. under 2000 watts of 6500k cfls i wish i had a camera to show how much less money you need to spend when it comes to ur energy and light costs.

Couple of thoughts...

It may cost less in electricity to bring to a sucessful harvest, if using cfl's, depending on how many you use and your light cycles. Less heat, and thusly less need for aggressive ventilation are an added bonus.
-but-
I wish my camera could show you the difference between a cfl grown plant, and one onder HID. Even if the plant is the same overall height as the cfl plant, bud density is greatly improved, which ultimately provides much more wieght and bulk. Once you see and feel the comparison, there is no comparison.

Having said all that, my wife likes the 'lighter' buds. She doesn't like having to break-up the rock hard buds, and they don't burn right if not properly cleaned. So she get's to clean the lighter 'secondary' buds and I spend half a day cleaning the rock-hard main cola's.
