Anyone have flowering pics from a T5 they used?

jtrimbl3 · Jan 21, 2012

MH, HPS, blah blah i know they work better but i have a T5 quantum badboy (6 tube) that is really really good for veg but all the criticisms for flowering with fluro's have me worried. I have the light very close with CFL's supporting the sides. I just want to see the quality if anyone has pics, i'm not concerned with quantity. here are some photo's...

hey jtrimbl3

I use my T5 from my fish tank toward the lower end of my 3 flowering ladies and they seem to love it so far (it looks like it sends light from under the canopy up toward the colas)

This one is 2 weeks from being done.I'm using a quantum 8 bulb bad boy.I mix my light spectrum during flowering to 5 3000k bulbs and 3 6500k bulbs.This plant is 35".I have 4 more in the flowering room identical to this one.Room is 2/12' x 4 feet.I'm thinking 3 ounces per plant.

T5-HO, there is a difference

70sdiver · Jan 22, 2012

Ya there t-5 ho's. T-5's are for real ive grown 7 different auto varietys with them and the lowest yield plant came in so far at 1.9 ounces. Just keep them right on top or the plants i go about 2-3 inches from the tops.

i just have 6 2900k tubes and 5 23W 2900k cfl's. this may be a noob q but what's the diff btw T5-HO and T5?

rollinbud · Jan 23, 2012

The difference is power output... Bulbs from a HO cant be used with reg t-5.

Mine are def HO. I got them directly from the same company who made the fixture

silverserf · Jan 23, 2012

This is under T-8 23W, i think they work pretty damn good for the price. Scrog seems to work best, getting about 4oz a crop under 8 T-8s
