Yo Rolla J! done these girls under t5's in a cupboard and left them i was real busy with another project and really put no effort at all into these i just left them in a nice organic soil and boom i turned this IMG_20170531_102429.jpg into this20170608_231053.jpg :weed:

Like i said i put.no effort into this as i was busy with another project, there is no doubt in my mind that t5's can compete with any other light, i myself was suprised as i had the same strain runnin over a mates house under 600w hps the only real differnce was the flowers weren't as dense, :bigjoint: have you tried the T5's ??give em a shot!

I don't see 700watts of cfl. Are you basing your calculations on equivalent wattage? If so that's why your plant looks so skimpy. It's stretched out really bad from not having enough light throughout it's life. Only thing going to plump up those hair balls is more light.

I was just about to post that. Definently not enough light. No way there's 700 watts in there. It's so leggy and stretchy.

nice start, i'm with the others, that don't look like 700watts of cfls, looks like you have 7 bulbs all rates of 100watts, but reality they are 26 watts per bulb that would put u at 182watts used, unless you also using cooler bulbs for your flowering...

that's cool, i like helping out for me when i'm in full service i use 8 26watt (100watt equiv) and 4 14watt (60watt equiv) in my grows

ok so more light anythig else that i can do to amp it up to be where it should be
honestly, that's the main thing i would work on, i would work on getting another 4 pack of the 26watters, also pick up some splitters too, that would help as well

also look into the coolers ones too think they are 60watt equiv, but they only use 14watt for flowering

welp still fighting some heat issues in the closet. Kinda sucks, but the seedling look like they don't mind it, which makes it kinda weird. Gonna have to figure that little thing out later.

so yesterday i went ahead gave them i nice watering, not so much as it drain out the bottom just enough though, yes they needed it, so about 6:30 pm my time i decide to put them outside while i do some matenience to the room, basic cleaning and such

2 look great, but the third one, now i like to call stretchy is really weird, still could be a heat thing, but 2 are loving the lights, the third is acting like it just doesn't want it...weird....
