Haha, that's funny, you're right I am an Auzzie - well, half. Yeah, they're tubes that I'm using. I'm not sure if the internodes distances are correct but if you look at the link in my sig they're very close [now they're under the MH,] but that plant started from seed under the T5's. The T5 setup takes 4 tubes and I can turn them all on and off, or two on and off at a time. As I said I'l like to both clone and maybe keep a banzai/small mother under it for a while... so I can just cut from it and root the clones under the same lights before putting them under 600w MH. Thats the idea anyway.
As for the T5's, man, last night I was trying to teach myself a bit of low stress training and broke one of two new tops off my best plant, basically, so the T5's have now been re-purposed to see if I can turn that heartbreaking mistake into a clone/mother/just keep it alive. I cleaned it up a bit, clonex'd it and put it under a dome and T5's... here's hoping.
As for the PM, he is a complete fuckwit and I'm glad he's gone. Or government is a parody of a real government - It's not meant to be taken seriously. ha! Maybe not legal weed but possibly back to decriminalizing it! It's been decriminalized in a couple states, a couple times. Babysteps...
Only Auzzies call light bulbs ...Globes ...lol these ain't bulbs/globes unless you are CFL's use tubes is best ...lol, 6500 kelvin is very good for leaf growth, but you need some red 2700 kelvin for stick development, a combination of both color temps, will also give you correct internodel distances, a very good indication of a correctly grown plant. add a small pc type of fan in their with her to remove any cursed 02 gas around the leaf set, so she get to breathe too.
I learnt to speak in Au, and always wondered why the Auzzies called bulbs ...Globes ...lol Congrats to booting your forth Pm in 4 years ....lol weed legal soon ..maybe?
Seeking clarification here CFL's are light bulbs, T5 are floro tubes......correct me here...? again what you got
