First timer, doing ok- switch to HPS from t5 for flower?

[closet420]

switch to HID & flower...ASAP...:thumbsup:...7 females under one 400 watt HPS; is gonna be maxed out.
Use the t-5's, too...on the sides if possible...IMO.

Makes sense... now to find a power cord for the ballast & get her done!

you think the t12's are doing any good at all? it's a 4 bulb, 4 foot setup, 2 aquarium lights and 2 cool white (i think cool white). i don't think they are because i've had plants right next to it almost touching and the new growth from the lower branches doesn't point toward the t12's.. they ignore it and point toward wherever the t5's are. i'll ditch it if it's not doing anything... save on electric that i'll need for the HPS.

Thanks

I've been around the interweb quite a bit trying to figure out if my lighting is adequate for flowering, and I'm coming up a little short. I started growing bagseed the 1st week of September, no idea what strain or species. Started in the garage with halogen work lights until they started to lose color and thus my new hobby began... reading, learning, patience, etc... The first thing I did was buy some t12 lights from a big box store Rating: 5
