Power Veg T5 Eye Hortilux

I'm almost to week 6, will post more this evening, I've been keeping the lights like 2 inches from the tops, only time I get burns is when the leaf is directly touching the bulb, they run a lot cooler then I exspected

Ok guys, as far as the bulbs burning your leaves: you are still using the regular either 6500K or higher, right, if I'm wrong let me know- the PowerVeg bulbs are MUCH cooler, and they don't burn the leaves as you think- the plants normally shoot straight up to the PowerVeg ones, but if you have the setup I think you do, the plants will grow well but they tend to burn on the higher Kelvin. There is a new set out from Hortilux and the PowerVeg colors have just been released. The ones I have are just for veggies atm, but they are awesome. The red is PowerVeg 660, the blue is PowerVeg 420. There are 2 others to the spectrum, check out their site. Best of luck to you all!

i have a quantum board i am running at 135 watts, i put a eye hortilux power veg full spectrum +uv in a fixture and hung it in my tent.
how do i go abouts using this light? do i just run it on the same cycle as my quantum board? will the powerveg t5 full spectrum+uv burn my plants?

I didn't realize there was even a demand for something like this, the standard 6500K, T5HO bulbs work awesome for pre-veg and even Veg, clones and seedlings.. and they're like $5.
And for flowering I'd much prefer HID. But I can see how this is alluring to people wanting to flower with CFL's..

Using the veg setup 2 420s, 2 460s and 4 uvs. I can say the girls are happy. Happier I dont know? I am though. With a 6 plant max the lights and fixture are a lot less work than a hood. No cooling issues and I think a lot less electricity. I havent really checked that out though.
Ill switch to HPS for flowering.

The t5 bulbs won't burn your girls, the uv is actually something that they need the help to soak the nutrients that you feed them with. I DID and still use the powerveg's, but I also now use the LED groups- 8 bulbs are the LED (4 white, 2 reddish, 1 blues with uv, and 1 with white with blues), and 2 powerveg 420nm and 460nm. If you'd like to check my new setup, my new thing is 'Start to Grow Again!'. You'll see how well those bulbs work really well, especially since 4 1/2 weeks of growth.

this is how i have it hanging, it is 10-16 inches away from the closest-farthest leaves, does this look alright?

kinda got a vertical hanging light thing going, i have one eye hortilux fs + uv and also a sunblaster cfl ( i dont know if it has uv) but am i correct in assuming that running this cfl will get enough uv to make any difference?

That picture is very hard to see the distance.. any other angle please. Just from what I see you should have your lights closer
