How many plants were under it?

You got about .38gpw which is about average for growing under T5's IMO. If you add Co2 you should be able to kick it just over .5

i had 20 1 gals. everytime Ive done 8 big ones under an 8 bulb i got around 11 or 12 oz. the sog ones became root bound too, that might of been part of the problem,

Since I haven't posted here in a while, here's my GDP mother I stretched out under an 8 bulb. Threw in 4 more 4 footers on the sides to help with the lower growth. This is day 19 of 12/12 for her.

Nice Job!

I figure most people reading this thread would come visit my T 5 grow. The biggest improvement I see is due to switching from DM Gold to Hydroponic-Research VEG + BLOOM. DM was doing a decent job, but V + B is the goods

I took these pics Friday and I swear bud size has doubled already. #2 is of the main stalk, which I snapped 4 weeks ago. Since taking this it is damn near as thick as my forearm. Next time I take a pick I will put my forearm behind it as a reference.

When your redsuns burned out. Did they appear a much darker red and not as bright just before dying? One of my redsuns is doing that. I've been using it since last september.

It should, that's how other flouros look when they go out. Dark, and maybe flickery.

Well that just sucks. I have not had one burn out on me yet and I've been running them for almost a year. Well I have one extra coral wave I guess I'll use til a new one arrives. Time to order a new one. Maybe another flora sun instead of redsun. Save 5 dol...
