With 54 watt bulbs it puts out 432 watts of lights. It draws 488 watts of power. You can put .higher wattage bulbs in it too. But they only mke a few 96 watt bulbs

My hydro plant is totally all wrinkled up now. Looks like a raisin.....DEFINATELY not healthy, but I know now that it isn't being caused from the lights. I have the plant under a CMH and it is still doing the same weird shit. It must be an over-fertilization problem. Strange as it is on a 50% nute!

Are the tips of the leaves a reddish brown color? If so that's a sign of over feeding. It sounds like ph or quality of water issues. Add some dolomite lime to you nute mix. its $3. It's a ph buffer or soil sweetener, also has mag and calcium in it too.

^im confused is that 3 different grows or all the same grow? They all seem to have different lighting.

Same room. the 1k has only been on for 2 weeks. The girls got too big to fit under the T5 alone.
The small veg ones are in another room.

Oh good call! I was thinking that I should probably arrange it so that I have a base bulb at either end. Those closeup pics of your buds look like some High Times shots! T5 really does make for some serious quality. Which strain was that again? Your room looks great! I don't think it really skews the experiment much having an HPS next to the T5 because as you get further than 3 feet away from the HPS, it's impact is almost negligible due to the inverse square law.

That's one of my all time favorites! Ye intruders beware...crushing death and grief...soaked with blood...of the trespassing thief!

okthanks2, not much consolation for ya but it is kind of good to know it isn't the lights. I had plants do something similar to me one time and it turned out to be humidity related. The leaves folded up along the central vein and also turned sideways. I don't think that that's what you've got going on, but if you've absolutely ruled out everything else, it may be something different to look at.

Thanks. There is a noticable difference between the girls under both lights. The t5 buds are slightly bigger and more frosty. The leaves are darker an more perky. Less stretching . Yet most are same height and the ones under the 1k stretched a little so the t5 ones have more bud sites. A little light from each bleeds into.each side but still there is difference.

My take on mj/lighting sales people is they have very little practical experience in growing, let alone growing mj. As with all purchases, the less knowledgeable I am, the more money I waste, not just in purchases, but 3-6 months later when my grow is less than it would have been. I have blown way more $$$ on nutes than lights, though.

A lot of nute calculators cannot be trusted, including Dutch Masters own on their site. It seems their Hanna chart is the wrong chart. Hanna is 1 EC = 500 ppm, but when I mix to their amounts, it is always ~40% higher. That alone can either cause nute lockout (if caught soon enough, salvageable) or outright death.

BTW guys on these new T5 grows we have totally abandoned all Nute regimens and went straight to a dry Maxibloom ONLY mix.
I will never go back to Part A, b, add this add that crap again. Straight up, 1tsp of Maxibloom per gallon throughout the plants entire life. Getting as good of grows as I have with Fox Farms, GH and Advanced. Not to mention saving a SHITLOAD of money.
2.2lb for $15!

Ive been using GH flora 3 part, with ok results... I used to make my own mix from MG epsom ST etc and was considering it again... Does maxibloom have all the mirconutes also? Special instructions for diff stages? It'd be nice to have something so easy and cheap.
Reason for your switch? Do you think the nutrient requirements are that different using T5s? (I'm sure they prob transpire less due to less intense light/heat than HID)
thx
and are you referring/suggesting this for hydro or soil?
