Whats up RIU its been a very very long time since ive been on and finally started to grow a little again, before i would just veg and flower under HPS but now im trying something a little different.

Current Lighting

3 - 23W 5k
4 - 19W 5k

145W of CFL's

Any input on if I should add more lighting dumb the bulbs for some t5's?

Small Fan in a 2 x 4 grow tent

After carefully thinking of switching to T5's i've decided not to simple reason being T5 2ft 4 Tube hydrofarm for example is 96w total 8k lumens roughly 130$. My current setup of 145W CFL at 9200 lumens for 20$ Power Strip plus misc. adapters 15$ now if i replaced my 19W for 23W my lighting would than upgrade for an additional 10$ to 161W at 11,200 lumens my grow space is roughly 8 sq ft so i would be receiving 1400 lumens per sq ft. just a thought.

After careful thinking i decide to veg under HPS. I also transplanted them to bigger square pots and im using Happy Frog now. Hopefully it vegs quicker on HPS than CFL. Hopefully the bubba gets better with this...

So I lowered the lights closer gave them a day to adjust to HPS cant tell any difference yet, added a small booster fan to remove some heat. 47% humidity 79F temp while tent closed. Comments and suggestions welcome, only nutrients using is Grow Big by Fox Farm.

SFV is taking off looking really great, the bubba is coming back im thinking it was that shitty rockwool it was cloned with than inserted into another huge as rockwool didnt allow the roots to settle properly in the soil.. who knows looks better now post pics soon.
