thats a t5 but i wouldnt use it to flower, even if I had CFL's in addition to it. theyre too long and have bad penetration. if u keep them any further than 10" away from a plant its almost pointless..unless u have a bunch of them then i'd say go for it, but there are plenty of other options to get better results, but its up to mattso

Im using some t5s on my clones and growth is VERY slow. But then again maybe they haven't fully rooted yet.

Thats the one grey skull! I am now half way through flowering and my plants did not streach at all! I mean at all. I have two Bonzi plants. I dont really care cause there is alearning curve . Next time I will veg for twice as long to get a decent yeild I inagine I will get a half ounce total for the two plants. I consider that good for the first time. lot of people dont even get a harvevst first time. I love the T5s and plan on getting more when I move july 1st. next harvest will be much better . My plants now aremall but buds are gowing nice and dense and filling out . They are already very sugary and are only half way through flowering. I have been feeding them bloom nutes now the shitz 1-11-1 and will be getting them some more additional nuted to add with. I promise pics soon!

just got back from thr grow shop and I picked up some B'cuzz bolom stimulator to add into my teas. its organic 0-0.01-0.7. It was Highly recommended to my by a few people. I am going to go with a differnt Nutrient formula next time instead of the shitz I like it and its good if your on a budget and I was. As time goes on I will be adding to mu nutes and lights.
I will be starting a new grow journal in the next week or so to show my new seedlings grow up. look out for Narpal grow #2 done right!

ya more lgiht the better. the real question is... can u pay the electricity bill? and how many floros you already have? cause u can jsut get the 150 watt hps and supplement it with a shit load of floros or cfl's. just have the hps above and all the floros on the sides and around the hps. thats what i plan on doing. i just need to get a ballast that i cna plug into my wall.

My two small plants are looking pretty good I think. They have a nice center cola forming with some small side buds. I chopped a couple of the lower branches off 2 weeks into flowering next time I will chop some more to consentrate on my main colas ( for the Narpal strain anyway) the shity cell phone pics do not do them justice! I know they are small but I still cant wait to smoke them. The seed pack said 52 day from 12/12 I will most likly go longer since I am only using floros (for now).

That question got me thinking... I was running my 400mh 24/7 for a billing cycle (didn't have the bloom 600hps or mothers 400mh running) and my bill almost tripled. $50-$150. How has your electricty bill been?
