for flower of veg
Veg a with T5 HO. Around 5000 Kelvin. And finish with a CMH or HPS. Or LED array. But those are expensive for quality.
As said above T5's are great for vegging. I use a 6 tube 4ft fixture with another single 4ft as side lighting in a home made 3ftx5ftx6ft closet Bathroom fans for intake and exhaust. After my initial purchase I needed replacement bulbs and I found them as expensive to buy 6 new tubes as a new fixture with tubes included.....until I found 5 HO T5's from Vivosun for $30 Cdn....A cheap brand I've had issues with some of their stuff but I took a chance because they are cheap and they work fine...good light and the plants are responding to them very well. I also had to replace my 2 tube 2ft t5 tubes for my clone/seedling box. I could only find Sunblaster t5 HO tubes at $20 each....
if i where to have a even canopy and bought 4 replacement bulbs for my 8 bulb t5 would i get some good nugs but if it cost around 70 dollars i might as well get a led light and run it in a 2x2 or something
You won't get quality flowers off T5 lights but you will get flowers. You can't stop them from turning when the light goes to 12/12. You can use cheap lights I'll see if I can find the link to BigCubes micro grow https://www.thcfarmer.com/threads/home-made-micro-tent.106216/ He used dollar store lights and got a great harvest....
when you say quality what does that mean ive only grown outdoor and its my second year and that bud compared to the bud we buy from plugs is trash in apperance but it gets me high but im looking for taste and high and not having to worry about fucking mold my humidity in ventura is to much for lots of the strains
what should I get for flower
and when I look at Dr bacon hes flowers look amazing and he ran them under t5 and i understand the light penetration is not comparable to led but im doing even an even canopy with heavy lolipoping
ch
CMH or HPS or LED for flowering. HPS is cheapest.
From my experience you'll get light wispy, airy buds that will not develop properly. I use hps to flower but electrical costs are high with my 1000w.
100% is as high as it gets if you have it higher than that. you be underwater. We only get it up to 100% intermittently for 2 - 4 months of the year. I've been to places where its 95% & higher year round. I know the difference but the plants don't care where they are they just need the right environment to thrive. I can't flower outdoors here with Photo's without mold. By weeks 7 its too foggy, damp & cold.
I understand 100% relative humidity is as high as you can get. Your window of dealing with high humidity is fairly short which is what I found humorous. Granted it was more funny geared towards human comfort than plant needs.
one question do you have any outdoor grows going?
i understand but would you get airy buds with an even canopy and heavy lolli poping
