DOOBIE! I missed you.

I still have my T5, but would like to sell it and try to get some of the cash I put out back ans was hoping I can just use this switchable for all stages...

MB already answered the MH distance, but if you can take the heat you can drop it closer. However 82 is a bit on the higher side of temps, so I would probably keep it at a foot. As they get older you can drop it down closer, again if your setup can handle that heat. Welcome if I haven't welcomed you already 10ace.

I prefer my T5's in all honesty, it has better performance all around. MH is nice don't get me wrong, my girls just seem to like the T5's more. The heat is very manageable and the growth isn't too bad imho. If you have a stretching issue, bump up the hours of light to 24/0 - 20/4. In that range your nodes should grow tighter/closer together.

================================================== =======================
Ah and I start setup today, will probably just setup the Veg tent at the moment. If I get both tents/closets done today cool, if not meh no worries lol. It's good to be back=].

So I have an issue now.

The landlord wants to rent out our third room to a student, and has hired housekeepers to take care of the place.

When they showed up today it was a surprise to say the least, it's the first time i've heard of this. So I sent them away saying I need to hear this from the landlord before I let strangers into my house.

My plants don't smell yet, their in a secure location and their medical so i'm not worried but what a freaking trip.

Get woken up to three old ladies with Tim Hortons telling me their going to clean my house.

Thanks. My temps are manageable, yet high. I am 82 in the box, but with the fans blowing under the light its about 80, and thats a 12". I will probably start the next batch under the MH and see how it goes... Trial n error...
Didnt realize you could force them to not stretch by the lighting.. Good info..

When do you switch to the HPS? same time as the 12/12 or wait a week?

Me and a roommate rent rooms in a house, the place has been just us for about 5 months and now the landlord wants to rent out the third room.

As soon as we see him next we're telling him that we're going to rent the third room ourselves.
