Who's working with T5s
I used T-5 and T-8 on my last grow (Bubblegum). The three plants in the windowbox planter had the (4) lamp T-5 for side lighting and the (2) T-8s for top lights. My three other plants had some 250W HPS lighting (sometimes one, sometimes two fixtures) and came out great, but not quite as big nuggets as these buds, surprisingly.
These are beautiful, smell outrageous and probably will kick ass (they just started to cure).
I plan on doing the same this grow except I'll be getting 5000K or 6500K instead of the 4100K for vegging as soon as I can clean up from the last grow. I use 3000K for flowering. No need to mitigate for the heat either. I just use one fan to move the air a bit. I was really pleased with the results. I am not going to put three plants in a planter again this time, but I don't think the results were as bad as some folks think. <G> But hey, do what you want. I like to have a small, efficient grow setup. This worked out excellent for me.
No arguement that HPS is the standard (best overall) for flowering but these flourescents did the trick with less energy ($$).
If you'd like, see Shov's Bubblegum Grow in the Grow Log Threads.
ShovShovelhandle Reviewed by Shovelhandle on . Who's working with T5s They keep calling me and I have seen other logs elsewhere where T5s are being used from seed to harvesting. Is there anyone here using them? What were your results? What were the positives, negatives? Thanks! Rating: 5
