Hi mother, We are having good luck so far. But we are also flowering with a very warm 24 hour K temp spectrum (very little blue). The reason I'm saying this is because I think the warmer 24 hour K temp we use the more Martian light our plants will let us have. I'm sure of this. So if I was you I would change your t5 bulbs back to the 2,700K bulbs for starters JMO. We have now figured out (our particular plants) love the warm 24 hour K spectrum for about the first three weeks or so (excites the hell out of the flowering genes). Then my uncle and I need to start to ether A. bringing the Martian light time down each week to allow the plants to think there is more (blue light) in the 24 hour K spectrum. Or B. switch the 400w bulb to one that has more (blue light) in it. My uncle is going to do B first and depending on how blue his 24 hour K spectrum is at that time he's also going to have to make a decision on how long he will keep the Martian lights on. As for blue 400w HPS bulbs. We have alot to chose from. 2,200k 3k 4k 6,500k 10,000k 12,000k 14,000k 20,000k (we will not be going above 10,000k). I believe all of these bulbs will require a different Martian Light schedule or a different Martian Light intensity or both IMO.

Just a re-cap. I believe my uncle and I will get our best results by starting out the flowering cycle with a very WARM 24 hour K temp. Then after exciting the flowers for about three weeks with the warm 24 hour K temp. We will then start to add blue in to the mix (to build bulk). Right now with very little (blue light) in the mix I see exactly what's happening to my uncles plants. LOL.... By the end of week 7 we should be almost up to using that 10,000K bulb....... Again JMO.

Please go warmer with the 24 hour K spectrum at first :thumbsup:
