My T5 Lucas Formula grow

Actually im running Lucas Formula (Dry Maxibloom only) plus Cal Mag and Roots Excelurator. Other than that pretty straight up simple grow.

Day 25 we will go ahead and jump in. Sorry I wasn't really taking many pics previously.

Veg was just Maxibloom and Cal Mag. 4g per gallon week 2, then 6g per gal week 3-4. I flip to flower at week 4 typically.

Medium - Sunshine Advanced #4 hybrid mix of my own with added Mykos and Coco.

I top my plants immediately at time they take roots as clones. Then transplant. 3 days later I FIM all visable tops. Then I fim all tops again at 3.5 weeks before moving to flower. This works great for me, keeps my canopy fairly level, gives me 8-12 colas per plant typically. By the time I flip to flower my plants are about 15" from the soil. Not huge but wide.

I grow with T5's using mixed spectrum bulbs. Typically ones used for Aquarium lighting.

Plants are all on a drip from a 40 gal resevoir running 1 min every 24hrs. It feed each plant approximately 2 cups of water. Ph 6.0

18 plants total in flower. 18 in veg. total plants 36 for 3 patients. Legal grow.

Thanks for looking!

The key is keeping the bulbs about 3-5" off the top of the canopy to increase the actual lumens that can get to the buds.

Add to that the most beneficial spectrum and you are gold.

2 ballasts are par using Actinic, Red Sun, Flora Sun, 454nm, Fiji Purple

The 1 ballast is running just 3000k Bloom Bulbs and Flora Suns. That ballast IMO is growing the frostier and bigger buds so far.
