Lighting My T5 Autoflower Grow Journal

[Ramsli]

Hello all, I am a new member, I decided I wanted to make a grow journal on here to show my progress and for any fellow members to share there tips and knowledge to help me to get the best out of my grow.

My grow setup is

14 T5 22inch bulbs ( 6400k, - 1900 lumens I believe per bulb)

Homemade grow room (Wood Frame, Insulated by plastic barrier and blue tarps, Recycled cardboard boxes to block the light off from the room I'm growing in)

Simple Fan with clamp mount

Premier Potting Soil (3.99 for a big bag of potting soil)

Agricultural lime
Epsom Salts
Plant Prod Ultimate 20-20-20 (just did first low dosage treatment to them couple days back they respond well)

i have 2 Regular females in my grow room just vegging (Brazil & C+ but I have 4 Autos in total a Northern Lights Auto, Afghan Mass Auto, Smokey Bear Auto & Bubblegum Auto.
All 4 of my autos are 33 days old my smallest is 8 inches my tallest is 13.5 inches

Here are some photos

I look forward to any comments tips and questions anyone has, I personally noticed a lack of T5 information on this site so I thought Id try to contribute the best I can. Though I still am a novice grower indoor.

Thank you for the warm welcome! this site definitely has a lot of information and the community seems friendly, As for my Photos i am actually torn between vegging them till spring then putting them outside (Transitioning them to the outdoor weather first of course) Or taking the C+ as a mother and flowering the brazil separately on it's on own, I'm leaning towards putting them both outside right now because I am wanting to do a couple of Auto grows, With limited space having 2 plants vegging can begin to become a pain specially with the light adjustments lol

Welcome aboard, Ramsli. Your setup is looking good so far, and the plants seem very happy. There are loads of us T5 growers here, including some of the top producers on the site. They may not be as glamorous as the LED rigs that have become so popular, but they are an awesome bang for the buck.

Hey guys just giving a update on the autos!

Its day 38 now for these ladies definitely some noticeable growth! Been trying to pump as much nutrients into them during there pre flower stage without causing any harm.

I've been tying down branches on the plants that become long enough to do so.

I've attached some photos I apologize for the poor quality (Blackberry Camera)

Any thoughts comments or tips are always appreciated! Ill try to get a little more detailed in my posted in the future

Have a good evening everyone!

for some reason when I click on a photo the page gets gray and says I don't have permission to view even though I'm signed in??????

Anyway, nice setup! I use 11 2' T5 and one 85w CFL. Great results. I got 2.5z out of one plant which is great for me!!

Wish I could see the photos other than postage stamp. Seems like the top light is too high though. I keep mine 2" above the plant. No heat issues.

The site is having problems with picture viewing at the moment.
