That's 24 w per strip. Way to much for that space. I'm going to remove two strips or fit a defuser of some sort. Amazing how intense the LED lights are.
You done well looks gd

Yeah those shorty t5s are 24w a piece but the led strips whack out nearly twice the light per watt so a bit different. I'd prefer the t5s for veg over strips but dunno bout flower. If you're just running for seeds the t5s might do but if you see a plant you want to grow out then more juice mightn't be a bad idea. 600w in the little room in the shed you mentioned would do nicely for a couple small plants if you find something you like

15 year sparky eh? Ive got a 30-ish year old solid state guitar amp that I want to repair but wouldn't have a clue where to start. It's a 1200w beast, last of the good US-built solid states before the company was sold to koreans. Belter of a metal amp with the best clean channel ever and a top quality spring reverb in it.

Any tips? no way I can replace with original parts so dont know if its fixable or if I should just gut it and build or buy a valve amp to fit (the speakers and reverb are still in great knick)
Marshall?

Got my history wrong too. Wasn't bought by Koreans, was acquired by the American music industries or some such company. Don't think they make solid states anymore. they're prob knocking out "boutique" single end valve amps that aren't good for much except blues noodling in the garage

Your right
Only thing I've flowered under the T5s are a few autos averaging 1oz per

So you guys in the know...all the seeds have at least cracked are now in soil in solo cups mini greenhouse with covers on closed and on top of a heat mat.
Temp is 22 inside the box but without the heat mat on would be 10 at most.
Leave like this till they pop above soil leave heat mat on for a bit after say a week or turn heat mat off once they have all popped above soil and take the covers off ?I opened the vents since the pic was taken
Orange og are in a glass of water as they are the only ones not cracked in 24 hrs

Call me crazy but if you're getting to 10 I'd put your heat mat on a timer and go 15 on 15 off and leave those covers on.
