First t5 ScrOG

OK, so I posted on here about a month ago trying to get some input. I didn't get any help. I know I'm not a master or anything but I've found answers to my questions thanks to weeks of research. I'm not here to ask questions at this point. Just figured I'd let you guys tell me what you think. Any questions or comments let me know. 6 plants unknown strain or sex. 5 weeks from first sprouts

Lookin good bro....roots are nice and white....plants look real healthy...keep up the good work...im subbed to see how they turn out...give RIU a little break...they arent always the fastest to reply but they are good people...hit me back if you have any questions...im a newbie but i have a great network of local growing buddies...if i dont know the answers one of them will for sure...they all started doing hydro and ended up doing organic soil so they can cover almost all aspects of growing...let me know...happy growing

Thanks man. And will do.

So today my plants are 5 weeks old and about 7 inches tall and at least 9 nodes apiece and I'm noticing some alternating nodes on the new growth. So my question is, is there a reason my plants don't seem to be getting taller? I topped them 2 weeks ago. Everyday they seem to be more bushy with lots of leaf growth as well as new growth. Temps are constant, rh is constant and pH is constant.

whats your lighting? plants are nice and healthy, but maybe they could use a light boost for the end run?

Im using a 6 bulb t5ho. I've kept it real close until recently since I need em a lil taller to start the scrog. Even since I've raised the lights ( now 14" away) they aren't getting taller. What do you mean by light boost? What's the run down on it?

perhaps add some side lighting to boost the lighting.

looking good, plus liking your ferret there! haha

Dont listen to the guys that say you cant flower with a T5. Heres mine at 5 weeks.

Yea I was thinking of putting some lights on the sides. Idk if I have the room tho.
@ odin: I got 3 little fuzzbutts, they've gotten in there a couple times. Actually they perfectly topped 3 of the biggest plants that's y they are all the same size. Guess I got lil botinist ferrets.

ferrets are creepy, worse than snakes as they lure in with cuteness and you never know what they are curling up with ....

Ferrets are truly better than every animal I've ever had. Smart as hell. Anyhow what did u mean by a light boost?

light boost ... just some extra lighting as the plants get taller.

Ah OK. They've started to pick up in height. Got a lil mag prob but its clearing up. I'll post pics soon. Had to trim some note burned fan leaves too.

That's gorgeous bigv. What was the set up. How long to veg and such? Hydro?

i recommend getting some aquarium bulbs for better spectrum output. uvl redsun $20 each and zoo med flora sun $15 each

Something uvb? Like reptile lights? I have a bunch of iguana stuff I can use. Like I have a 6 bulb fixture 4 6400k and 2 agromax bloom bulbs. I'll switch to 4 bloom and 2 6400s later when I flower

I would switch out the 2 64K bulbs for some actinics and 2 of the agromax blooms with something that has some deep red punch (660 nm). I'm using Wavepoint Coral Waves and the Wavepoint Ultra Growth Waves to do that. The Coral Waves are special cause they have Far Red and a little red in addition to the actinic.
