I think now would be a great time to top both plants and let them veg for at least another week as you stated. I cannot exceed 40 inches, pot and plant in my bloom area. So plant height is always a main concern for me. I also think that now it would be a good time to raise the T5's and add the 150 HPS. Those are two little beauties!:)
Nice job on the topping. I was wondering how you were planning to use the two lights at once. I like your idea of hanging the T5's vertically and the HPS above. I think you will get the most out of your lighting with both fixtures as high as they can go. In bloom I prefer my lighting in a fixed position at maximum height. The plants then can always be raised if desired. You are in the ballpark keeping the HPS at least a foot above the canopy with their heat output. Your low wattage should not cause a big temp increase in the tent which will be nice. You will want to keep your fan always blowing just across the top of the canopy to keep those two nice and happy! :)
I was wondering if you can turn the 150 watt hood 90 degrees and move over more to the left. I think that would give you a better light balance down around the plants. Most of the HPS is being blocked by the T5 hood.
I also want to suggest using a combination of blue and red T5's for a better fluorescent spectrum. So I would use 4 of the Blue 6500K, and 4 Red 3000K. You are going to need to get some spare bulbs for back up as thy do burn out.
Looking better, But why not raise the 150 up about 6 inches so both lights are edge to edge? I like your idea of another tent. Then you can go perpetual.:)
........alright, alright!!! Damn, @Orcaman! Thank you so damn much! Your input has been real valuable here!! I do sincerely appreciate it man! Thank you! I don't think I'd ever have thought of that - haha, so, good point!
And I like it, I'm learning man, it feels good, and the girls look all the happier for it!!
......one day, man, maybe one day I'll get that second tent.......oh boy..................
Grow On!! Peace!
