I didn't know T5's were considered CFL's.

T5,T8,T12 are all Fluorescent and T5 is more compact than a T12 so sure CFL(not a curly q but is compact).Fluorescent(Nikola Tesla design est 1890ad)
But I must say IMPRESSIVE for nothing for than 200 foot candles up close.I use a Hydrofarm(china crap) 454 T5 CFL for my MOTHERS,VEG and Clones works good but mothers are over 3 1/2 feet tall so lighting is scarce in low branches.

yeaa you can get sum really nice grows with just CFL's man.. i only used CFL's for my White Widow.. and she came out GREAT!! thats her in my avatar pic.. and the pics on the very 1st page.. thats her as well. got 3.15 ounces off her using only CFL's.

damn I have seen people use 400 and 600 and barely get that,says alot about your growing knowledge.If you do this well with such low lumens I bet you cannot wait to see what you will do with a 400watt hell you know that moto the dutch can do what americans do with a 1000w with 400w due to there breaker size and limited amperes.you should try to grow some 2 liter size colas LOL.nice tho

But just like in RACING no replacement for displacement

Anyone using COCO coir and is anyone using AN CONNOISSUER or SENSIBLOOM or IGUANA i believe monkey juice is discontinued but a have seen at some hydroshops

lol. thanks man. idk. musta just got lucky. its only my 4th grow.. but i did do alotta reading up and shit.. adn studied everything for a few months b4 my 1st gfrow.. adn have been learning more and more.. thanks to this site. i think the WW that im growing now (in my signateure) is gonna yield even more... my last one i vegged for 3 weeks... this one went for about 5. and i FIM'ed this one as well.

yeaa, I wouldnt mind gettin an HPS.. but Im happy with the results im getting with the CFL's for now. i wouldnt mind gettin like a 250 watt HPS.. and then still having a few CFL's along the side to keep the lower bud sites happy. =)

i likie using CFL's tho.. u can place them all along the side.. adn under all the hard to reach areas... i think that had a lot to do with my yield.. cuz even my lower nugs were fat. eventually i woll move up to an HPS and see how that goes.. =)

Yeah it's just semantics..

I like the low heat of the T5's.. Could you LST the mothers?

yeaa Wolf Scott used those T5's and has pretty good results with them as well... and ea u can LST mother plants... it would actually probably be a good idea... it would allow more light to the bud sites.. well.. theres not buds on the bud sites. lol. but i mean it would create many more cuttings for ya

ok so my for next round on my Closet 467w CFL SCROG i want to try

Yeah I would agree with the T5x8 4ft make my mothers grow and grow keeps me busy trimming and lots of clones for local dispensaries.as for short mothers and clones from my experience I like it alot compared to my 250w mh I had (yes I know now I have 454w"so i should notice a difference")
This was Taken 2/2/2010

2/5/2010

2/8/2010


With results like this T5x8 4" 454watts
Coco coir and my nutrient line up.
I will be using T5 's unless they make something better for same price(even light and low heat"does give off heat but nothing like a MH")
and you guys are giving me an idea with running dual T5 in plastic clear cover between each row like this =========== to light up bottom save me another 2 weeks for bottom buds on my 5' and 6' plants.
***********
===========

===========

holy SHIT thats alotta growth over 3 day periods!! damn!!

Thats the T5 providing the light I was impressed myself,yeah you have to love digital technology when you take a pic it keeps the date so as a reference I just go back and look at date taken.I also keep a journal for I smoke alot of good meds so I do tend to forget sometimes.
LST mothers? im not sure what you mean by LST please inform me.

Low Stress Training. means to slowly tie the top back out of the way so the lower limbs can get light.

Yeaa pretty much what husalife said. =) here's a good picture of a basic guide on how to do it.. i did it once.. but the plant i did iton ended up turning hermie.. soo i had to kill it off.. but its actually pretty east to do. here's the pic.

View attachment 942257


and here's a few pics of plants that have been LST'd. most people use it for budding. because it makes all those small "pop-corn" buds grow to be big buds.. but if u did it for ur mother plant.. it would creat many more chutes.. here's a fwe more pics. hope this helps.







There ya go man. hope that helps. you can see how big some of he plants end up from that.. all teh lower bud sites that would normally get little to no light.. get just as much light as any other bud site.. which makes them grow much bigger. =)

You probably could supercrop the mother plant as well...? to make more chutes for cuttings... I founf an awesome video on how to do it.. i'll have to look for it.. and ince i find it i'll post it up here.

now that im seeng the results ppl got... i think i might LST my next plant in my next grow.
