I'm not sure about polyploidy and all that but nothing wrong with good old t5 lights. You do however want to buy some 2700k or 3000k bulbs. Just get a 4 pack. In future when flowering just swap every other bulb for a 2700-3000. As dnewsome2 said if you back the lights off it will reach for the light. Stopping the cluttering. You can back lights up now too. During flower you want close but with yellow bulbs. I use t5 myself and see no need for hps or halide. T5 is low heat low power but high output. I'm on 4 th week flower now using t5 for veg then I swapped 4 of my 8 bulbs for 3000k. And I put a cheap $150 led 600w in for spectrum and little more light at flower. Plants are doing very well. Defoliate. Meaning take some of the leaves off the plant to allow more light in. Don't go crazy but it's definately got a few leaves it won't miss at all.
That's awesome man looking good! That last pic looks tasty and frosty as all hell lol Grow on!
You got to take everyone's advice with a grain of salt. Everyone thinks they're a master cannabis cultivator, the next Jorge Cervantes :joyful: Sometimes you'll get great advice, other times it's a lot like the blind leading the blind. Just use your best judgement, after all; it is your garden. But I do think Monster is right about taking a few fan leaves off. Defoliate if you feel the lower and inner parts of the plant really aren't getting too much light. Usually its best right before flower or as far as 3 weeks in, but it can stress/stunt your plant if you do too much too late in flower. Or don't :smug: up to you.
