Club T5

Heres my first t5 grow! Mix spectrum 4/4 under 2 sunblaze 4' 8 bulb fixtures!

Taken this morning. ~ 5-7 days left

Hey all just want to drop a warning about lights from ...growzebo on ebay ..dont purchase them they are pure garbage that could burn your house down , also he is a cheese bag to deal with .so steer clear !!!!!!!!!

That last pic looks to me like it needs more than a week, more like 2-3. Just looks pretty early into flower to me.

My new plants under new setup at about 2-3 weeks veg with 1 topping done.

Been browsing around on ebay and amazon and have noticed quite a few generic t5s available for a slighter cost. Im interested in the 24' models.

Has anyone used these...and if so....whats your opinion? worth the cost savings or just go with a Sun Blaze?

thanks!

After trying to run a 600w HPS I am switching over to flowering with T5's. Don't want to deal with the extra heat the HPS puts out on top of the fact that the light is a electricity hog. I am currently vegging under 324w of T5 light. This will be my flowering light. I have an old 6 bulb reef aquarium T5 light I will use to veg and clone under. I have to rework my grow cabinet a bit but this should all work out in my benefit. Flowering will be done 2 plants at a time under a fixed SCROG screen. Flowering fixture will be adjustable to keep light right on top of plants and make training under the SCROG easier. I look forward to posting results. On deck to flower 2 Fem Seeds Pure AK.

I use a t5 VHO 8 lamp fixture and I wish I had never wasted my money on LED. I LOVE t5's. As good as any lights out there, and better than most in my opinion

Certainly you can waste your money on ANYTHING if you are an uneducated consumer. I use both, separately

LED

Week 3 of 12-12.

Clones under 2 ZooMed Florosuns + one UVL Aquasun+ one Quantum Flower bulb

Explosive growth also due to my 21st Century Drip/Spray Hydro Halo system

I bought my first T5 set up today to run my clones. I want to see how it goes before I buy more. I bought this.

I have never played around with hydro before and I have a hydrofarm mega garden I may play with using the light.

question here.i have a 11ft long,7ft wide,7ft tall room.i was all set to purchase a full set up for (6)600s when the store owner told me what he was up to.he suggested (4) 2ft x 4ft 8 bulb vho t5s.this really got me thinking because he just lost quite a bit of money because the vho t5 set up is cheaper.heres my question.can you yield the same from a t5 vho setup are the buds just as tasty etc.thanks.

^^^^^ YES you can. Buds are better quality and yield better with the right bulb combo.

Yep done right with the right bulbs you can get a good harvest

But do they make the LEDs in T5 style ends or just T8?

I have the same fixture in one of my grow rooms. Excellent lights. Used 1 on 8 plants in 3 gal pots and the results were as good as my 1000w hps.

Wow Jim great results with that T5 light. Even the shorter parts of the plants have nice buds.
