Yea man I'm 3 grows in with Par growing and have to say the most important thing is lots of light getting to the entire canopy. I supercrop the shit out of my plants from the time the clone gets roots. I also FIM about 2x week. Then flower at week 4-5

Ic ic well I will be keeping an eye on your grow it's really interesting, and what you think about lollipop ping under t5 I can't really find anyone who is doing or who has done it under t5s do you think it would be more beneficial to lollipop under T5 PAR

Sorry stupid auto spell on my phone

Toss. We are only legally allowed 36 plants for our patients. So we keep our clone count down to stay compliant.

legitmen man, +rep

Day 30 of Flower

So far just running 900ppms and 5.7ph in a 40 gal rez. Ph climbs to 6.4 every 48hrs. So I drop in 2 gals of water and 2tsp of Maxibloom. Gets it right back to 5.7.

Plants are super happy. I am running a zero runoff system, only feeding about a party cups worth of nutes per day. Have'nt had any issues doing it this way so won't switch to a runoff system just yet. I do flush every 14 days for 4 days. Pure RO water ph 6.

Day 35 (timed from the day i flipped to 12/12)

Today was day 2 of flushing with Florakleen. I run zero runoff and im watering with nothing but florakleen to about 10% runoff every 3-4 weeks. Seems to be working great.

Looking awsome Lucius. +1 rep if I can brother and keep up that t5iness goodness!

ED: Tried to rep ya, but I have to spread the love first. will hit ya next time I can brother!

all good. thanks man

Unsubbed. Not because your grow isn't lovely, but because you've got an attitude problem. Nice work. Now work on your fucking people skills.

Haters gonna hate bro. Haters gonna hate.

SUB'D!~
be easy

Chopped this a few days ago. Stopped taking pics etc. It all turned out well though. We sent these very tiny plants right into flower to try out the effectiveness of T5's on a large 18 plant grow. The problem is coverage. The T5's just don't have it. 3 8 bulb BadBoys barely covers 16 small plants (2 were under LED) so we would need to run 12 plants under 4 badboys if the plants were of appropriate size.

We might do it again or we might stick to HPS. All in all, the buds on our Bubba were smaller than with HPs and the buds from our God Bud were about the same size. I think the different strains like the HPS light better. Pre 98 Bubba being one of them.

Each plant yields what I would assume will be just over 1.5z. 1296 watts total= 672 grams .51gpw but those numbers aren't official until we weigh but im eyeballing it.

pic of 1 of the 1 gallon tupperware containers i cure in. total yield filled 3.5 of them.
