Lighting My T-5 HO Dealings

[Muddy]

I imagine those 110w bulbs are too hot to touch?

Yes, they are. I tried yesterday and they are too hot to touch. Even still I have them set about 4-5" above the plants and the heat at the plant tops is fine. They seem to be very efficient at moving the heat up and away.

T-5 Lighting update

Well As I said I have the strangest oddball things happen to me man,i swear it lol.O rdered TWO 2 packs of the 2ft t5 Bloom n Veg full kelivin right..Well ofcourse I got TWo 4ft replacement packs..JUST like i ordered..?LMAO!! So, i went n had to stick my light stunted Haze under a 125W till the ones i really need get here.I was trying to push them out to see the growth patterns indoors of a weak and burnt pannel as the growth n what have ya blah blah..and so on. buut

they should be here tomm or the next day and in the mean time I may just right my Main panel down n re do the Lights with the last bit of flower Transition Power ,powering up I thought of hitting them with a different light spectrum all together.so that'll be fun to see what happens.Plus LOL

I think(just a guess at this point really) since the plant stalled and the feed was able(rather the genetics in all honesty imho) to ruduce the feed cycle,it didnt rot and decay the plant unlike Chemical synthetics do yes..? or would chems do the same thing as a stable feed for a feeding bio organism..hmm.makes ya wonder dont it..?lol. sooo Im wondering n looking n seeing what n the world thuis thing is doing..its a lil oddball man..pretty cool though.Anywho.I got these for my 2ft order today .lol. UPS dude was like..ya get sum new lights man?yaaaa frigin burnt on me man. LMFAO!! dudes pretty cool!! if he didnt work for ups Im certain Id burn one with em..lol.L8r ya'll

OH YEAH..ofcourse i forgot..The lights been wavering for a cpl weeks and has been burnt for a solid week (single bulb of the four)that I can say..possibly longer but lets start at a week.lol.or better for burn AND wavering.drastic difference in the even used t5 bulbs in the other 2ft panel.

Eyes, You are going to notice a huge jump in growth with new bulbs. You should replace all 4 if they are even within a few months as old as the one that burnt out.
They are worn out a least a few months before they burn out

Quick question.I am hoping(frigin FINALLY right?) to have my proper lights i ordered the fist time,and was curious if ya'll think I should stick an even spectrum sweep across the panel till stretch is over..then swap to all bloom and one or two blues midway out..? or once stretch is over with the crosses spectrum swap to full reds..?thanks!! aint messed to much with light swapping yet.read about it but there are various thought on it.twas curious if you could lend ya'lls dealing..?Thanks again!!

 

[Eyes on Fire]

well that was awesome.Got my original 2ft set of Blues and 4ft set of reds eventhough I ordered 2ft mixed spectrum n that didnt happen.so i had to order another set of reds.Man this summer just aint my thing man..LOL!But this winter when I switch all new bulbs n run em cooler to they burn the best,I hope my soil does well cuz it should be nice playing with mixed specs now lol.
