Indoor First two plants ever grown under t5's

[smith4924]

I have 1 MOB and 1 Super Skunk that are about 4 weeks into flower now and instead of running one of my 1000 watt HPS I wanted to try flowering them under t5's and see what happens there in a 2x6 closet with just a fan moving air....I have a pretty nice grow room full of auto's that you can see in my forum but I wanted to try a simple method with simple 3 part flora series nute's....They seem to be flowering good and smell something fierce but the mob seems to be falling behind the SS and im not sure why....I have grow both outdoors and always seem to be about the same the only thing I did to the mob was cut a few branches off so it was basically a late lolli popping and the SS was lolli popped eary in veg.. Why do you think it would have such smaller buds on it compared to the SS?

1st 2nd and 4th pictures are Super skunk and the 3rd is MOB that seems to be behind in flowering....Do you think it will fill in good in the next few weeks...I figure it wont be as dense growing under t5 but there's not much there

Mate i think u done a good job it will fill out, well it should anyway lol... what colour are the trichcomes? i was expecting a little more sugar like crystals on the leaves aswell really?

there covered I just cant take a close enough pic without it getting blurry. The leaves on the Super skunk are covered in clear trics I will try to get a better pic but the MOB are not

try taking it a bit further away with the flash on and zoom in on your computer. if the camera is good enough you can usually see some trics ok that way.

or if you a manual zoom setting use that.

looking good :thumbs:,

Thanks Bgrt..... ill try it on both my lap top camera and my digital...its a 50x zoom one of the digitals with the huge lens kind of funny taking pics with it its my wife's photography camera and she's got the huge high speed lens on it. maybe if I put the small lens on it will work or if she does it seeing how she knows how to operate the thing...... I can't believe the amount of bud sites on the super skunk I went a little crazy with the topping, lst and lolli popping

 

[smith4924]

here you go Bgrt I got it after countless times trying..... It is the best I can get it but they are slightly covered in trics

 

[smith4924]

does it seem to be covered like it should being that it is under t5's ?

has some nutrient burn so I leached them both out with 4 gallons of water and will probley do it again where as my runoff was over 2000 ppm after 4 gallons.....the ph was perfect at 6.3 but wow with the nutrients... I have not even been feeding them to heavy only half strength and just started bud blood big bud....these 2 are in OF and SS #4 mix. hopefully it wont drown them not sure if after 3-4 days I should flush again or just feed lightly. only about 4 more weeks to go

eehm..they sit in soil ? so the runoff will always be higher imo.
on the pics of yesterday they look perfectly well...no need to become nervous, what signs of a burn do you think you see...pics ?

I'd just relax an let them drink the stuff.

Cheers
