To put 4 2 foot t5s from seed in soil????? These girls are stuck. First time with t5s
Wait what is different? I'm new to thisYou can get some stretch by increasing the DIF in your tent too.
DIF is the difference between day and night temps. For example, 78 day temps and 68 night temps mean a DIF of +10 (positive 10). A positive DIF will promote stem elongation. Try to keep your temps closer together. The more positive the DIF, the stronger the stretch, the more negative the DIF, the less elongation.Wait what is different? I'm new to this
Thanks22cm in seedlings 12-18 for veg
T5's can be within 1/2 " of the light without burning the leaves, let it touch the leaves and it will burn them. I had this one a bit too close and overnight it grew onto the lamp. I usually keep them within 6 -10" awayThanks
That's why I like T5's , I like the heat they put out. The lights alone heat my veg room through most of the year. It's only the deepest darkest days of winter I've had to add more heat but with my new 6 tube fixture it may be enough alone to keep temps up.12 - 18" above the plants for me, but I run low wattage LED's alongside my t5's, they pump out a bit more heat than the t5's do.
Same here. I'm at about a 51 degree north latitude, winters require some heat supplementation but most of the time my lights effectively heat the room. I run an oil filled digital radiator 24/7 365 near the tents at 23 C just to maintain a baseline in the room. More often than not it sits idle.That's why I like T5's , I like the heat they put out.
