It's late but I'm gonna sub up and follow along.

Happy Growing.

I am going to be completely honest. Respectfully, I am leaning towards the belief that t5s using pr0fessuer's PAR method will flower out better than HPS. I haven't been able to compare side by side yet; I hope to present some solid evidance to support my beliefs. However, I think that there is something different about the wavelengths between HPS and t5s. I think T5s really shorten internode spacing despite what type of bulb you are using. I admit that I have yet to try incoproating more IR energy in my PAR spectrum (which I am told is what leads to stem elongation). When you veg with HPS the internodes are spaced further apart and this makes it more conducent to do LST methods imo. Once you put them to flower under t5s the internodes start growing closer together (which could be good if you are looking for density in your buds). I really cannot say which lighting method is better at this point. I think the mitigating factor would be sampling a strain grown under HPS and the same strain grown under PAR t5. One thing is for sure; I am glad to be taking this journey with so many intellectually stimulating folk.

People may not buy into your own method of flowering but its always cool to see growers trying new things.. I think what you are doing is cool I have never seen it and from your pics its working well so like we say in America " Fuck yeah dude!"

Thank you, Beav! I'm not sure where this road will take me... it might take me back to a 1000 watter or one of those cool spinning light dealy thingys

I will say that as of today I have added 2 Red Suns and 2 Fuji Purple bulbs to my 4 bulb T5 fixture. in the past 6 days of flowering these LED plants which weren't growing for shit under the Blackstar 240watt, have plumped up REALLY nice since these bulbs have been over them for the past 6 days.

Red Sun-Fuji Purple seems to be a pretty bombass mix for flowering IMO.
