Lighting My T-5 HO Dealings

[Eyes on Fire]

Hey guys,

Just wanted to give a small recounting of my T-5 grows and since I have a new grow starting I thought Id lend a little info if anyone is interested if yer new with CFL's or T-5's too. Ive got an fair amount of experience with some smaller CFl's and 125W-200W and 250W CFL's as well as 2 foot 4 bulb and 4 foot 8 bulb HO T-5's.

Im just gonna slap up a few pics from time to time about my current and past grows under T-5's if needed for info for anyone.but ya,ask if ya need a hand man..no sweat!

Enjoy the growing fellerz!!

I grow with only 1 4ft t5 but i use both spectrums for veg and flower i just need to get my plants closer to the light there about 3ft from it. It works for me.

What bulbs have you tried Eyes?
There are numerous spectrum types available to the tropical fish industry for various Coral types.
Have you tried Gleissman or ATI bulbs? If so, what spectrums? And in what stages?

 

[Eyes on Fire]

honestly they are straight flower spectrum.Ive yet to burn a light so until then..lol but once that happens Im gonna try staggered blue's and fully red the further along it goes once I replace them..thanks for the info man..Coral's n fish ,ya man..great stuff.do ya happen to have a link??they sound nice man!!

Just Google Gleissman t5 bulbs or ATI t5 bulbs.
Gleissman has a pretty informative website,
Can't remember what ATI site is like.
When you shop them, really look around, prices range from "anh" to "give us your damned leg"
