Day 44. I was battling gnats for a few weeks, finally got rid of them. if not for those buggers I think they would have swelled up more. Since the gnats have been gone they have been swelling up everyday.. Right now I would say the nugs are the same size as they were under my 1k. they are super frosty so much more than the 1 k. so sticky too. i had to wash my hands with rubbing alcohol after touching them. the t5 definitely out performs a quantum 1000w with a eye hortilux...... They still have a few weeks left. these strains almost double in size in the last week.

Day 14 of flower. I love how they are always perky and never droop. I'd say they are developing about 5 days ahead or faster of ones under 1000w.

Mine is an 8 bulb and its the 2 bulbs at one end. It seemed kind of flimsy as I put it together too. I might get one of those HTG ones for the next 8 bulb..They are even the same price after shipping. They run on 120 or 240 and have similar reflectors too.

. finally got a camera that actually works

Day 2 of flower under the t5.

Attachment 1825485Attachment 1825486

its a quantum badboy 8 bulb. puts out 432 watts of light and drains 488 watts of power.. i use coral reef bulbs.

UVL Redsun.............................3
Wave Point Coral Wave.............1
ATI Aquablue Special................1
Korallen Zucht Fiji Purple...........3

then the 1k puts out 1000 watts of light and drains 1060 watts of power

My t5 covers more area, more intense than 1k . Over all its kicking the 1k's ass. in 2 days of flower pistils started to shoot out, It usually takes til day 7 or 8 to get that from the 1k

here is a side by side comparison of a t5 with coral bulbs vs a 1k with an eye hortilux. They are 5 weeks apart. Im liking the t5 much more. Both lights do bleed a little into each side. thats all the room I have. Also I have since lowered the t5 and put the ducting back up on the 1k. was doing maintenance and cleaning .

I will document all this to put an end to t5 haters. the t5 is so much more brighter than my 1k

using 3 gal pots and feed guano tea thats it

I've been using the super tea mix for flower for a little bit now opposed to the botanicare one that I used before. The buds are bigger, but I don't know if the tea is a contributing factor. I added co2 at the end of the last batch. Everything is way more frosty too. They do stink so way much more. i think the tea helped with that.

I have one strain that usually has pm problems so I got rid of it because of that. This is my last batch of this strain and I'm not getting pm. i don't know if its the tea. I know the natural bacilla subtillus that forms fights against disease and what not. the protozoa breaks alot of it down. or if its the co2 or a combo of everything
