No still with the switchable digi hps but i have discontinued using t5's due to them not putting out enough light, in the end the old members were right saying they aren't strong enough to grow bud

I dunno, but I think you'll have some good chats with him, he loves thermodynamics and heat discussionsNo but when is he getting here? Sound interesting

T5's work great for seedlings and vegging. That's what I use. But I flower under an HPS.

They work but not enough light and a seedling under hps or cmh/mh grows at a much much faster rate.
I see the old members were hitting at this not so much they dont work fullstop.
When i stopped a few months ago i had just grown the best seedings of my life under a hos, i couldnt reach this level under t5's - quite annoyed with mysef at that point

What type of T5 were you using? I use a 4 ft 4 bulb that uses the 54 watt HO bulbs. I really like it. But of course more light is better but I've found that the T5 works great for my needs. It doesn't put out much heat so I don't need an exhaust fan which is good since my veg tent is in my office where I use the computer and the noise of a fan running all the time would drive me crazy. I also use it for my vegetable and flower starts. And currently I'm only using it for four seedlings so I took two of the lights out and I'm only using 100 watts.
I'm also very frugal and since I already have this light I can't justify getting more equipment. But back in the day when I was growing on a much larger scale in a sectioned off basement I vegged under a 400 watt MH before putting plants into the flower room with a couple 1000 watt HPS. But I'm just a small hobby grower these days so what I have works fine for my needs.
Good luck with your grow.

I don't know if you've ever considered using one, but I'd go ahead and look into some LED.
I read somewhere they work awesome.

Nice, is there a hermy gene?
Truthfully no one knows, peeps looked hard but it got to complex to pin down to a length of code or protein - what they did conclude was that the systems that allow every plant to hermie were possibly far too complex and intervoven for present day scoence and equipment to discover.
For our purposes there is no hermie free plant or genetics and thus so we can conclude that every plant has hermie genes.
If you dispute this it is science you need to take it up with and not me, i merely found the same as science and that is that all plants no matter what have the ability to hermie wether they do or not.
The word hermie does not accurately describe a plant that shows naturally male on female and visa versa. This is its true state and as such a more accurate word will describe the slight differences between this species and others that genetically code differently - or technically there are no male and female just all hermies as thats its natural sex genetically.
Plant sex is remarkably complex, weed even more so, it would a monumental effort to sum that up in a post or thread - forget that xy shit and hello many letters numbers and bullshit i care not to try amd learn

Arcadia freshwater and tropical pro, aquarium bulbs, masdive in europe. Not sure if ATI or some similar company would be what a lot use instead of arcadia
