    LED Without LEDs -My First T5 Grow

    ok then it makes sense, they're focused beam where t5's are omni-directional. A reflector for LED's would could be to either diffuse the light or prob to focus the spread to a tighter beam. taking the reflector off to allow the beam to widen prob would blend the spectrum better. Ah its all so...

    LED Without LEDs -My First T5 Grow

    are we talking led's or T5's? without a reflector, whatever light is shining upward, even if it hits mylar, is likely being bounced right back down onto the tube it was emitted from, Im not even thinking about whatever kinda "tube" this guy has, just saying that reflectors are precicely angled...

    LED Without LEDs -My First T5 Grow

    I got my FloraSuns and AquaticLife Roseate's. I really like the FloraSuns, Im not impressed with the Roseates. The Roseates dont publish their SPD's online, but proclaim 650nm all over, and the spd on their packaging shows a ripple in the 600-700 range but otherwise is relatively useless. To my...

    That sux about snapping the stem, The sativa I just harvested (only 20g cured) shot up 2ft in 2weeks and I tried to bend her over until she snapped, then threw a bunch of nanners so I had to segregate her and she ended up missing out on my TLC, then got harvested at 6weeks. The snapped stem...

    Mine (and MTB's) were freebies from the Attitude. Mine is probably less than 3" tall but has 7-8 nodes! These T5's with a heavy blue spectrum give incredibly tight node distances, very short and stocky. Maybe a little slower growth than you might get from a HID but they're definately more...

    LED Without LEDs -My First T5 Grow

    The closer the better, it may be harder to stuff all 8 under one panel at only a few inches, understood, you may need to raise it to get light to all the tops. But the closer the better, blend your bulbs evenly, if your bulbs are so close that your plant can only effectively "see" 3 bulbs, if...

    LED Without LEDs -My First T5 Grow

    without reflectors you're losing at least 180degrees (50%+) of emitted light. With two bulbs per reflector or close to each other for blending, and they're shining on each other then you're losing light due to re-strike. I'd much prefer putting as much of the usable light downward towards my...

    Mpp... I got my roseates, I'll post pics tonite roseate vs florasun vs plant grow. The roseates are very white compared though. I'm not impressed. The spd on their box doesn't look too impressive either (couldn't find one before purchase, I bought em just from the claim of 650nm) for the...

    lol, ok so she's in the dark now for a few days, but before that I decided to trim abit to let the undergrowth get some air. I would let her go a little longer like this to let the under-flowers mature abit but she was starting to throw nanners and the top most leaves and most fanleaves had...

    LED Without LEDs -My First T5 Grow

    Was wondering what ya'll thought of my babies pre-harvest (graduation?) pics? Before anyone trips for chopping off the fan leaves, she's going into 48-72 of dark tonite then she's done, after two months I was just so curious to see what she had under her clothes lol. Kinda obvious what I think...

    Damn that might be too much... I forgot where I read it (diff forum) but someone had calculated the output for the 26w reptisun cfls, and concluded that one per every 2x2 square (at 12") is sufficient to get usable uvb without damage. So a 4' panel would benefit from 2 reptisun 10 cfls. Have...

    She is very VERY dense, but she did have a 400w hps all to herself for the last month with the T5s... But my box and room have alot of ventilation and very VERY low humidity so she really doesn't smell much at all. When I get right up close she still smells abit cheesy :) I haven't even opened...
