Switched to a T5 Floro grow (from HPS/MH). Need different Nutrients?

I switched over to a 8 bulb T5 Floro system (in soil). How does this affect my nutrient feed schedule? Do I simply proceed as before?

I am planning on a 4 to 6 plant grow (LST) in soil, from seed. I plan on using one or two gallon pots in a foxfarm medium.

Thanks in advance for your help.
 
You're not showing us what your original schedule even was.

Those lights are a lot like MH, way more blue light than red. I'd go with the feeding you had before and just watch the plants to see if they need more or less (should have nice dark leafs using that light).

With a weak light like that (maybe a foot deep penetration) I'd go with square pots to keep the pot size good while still being able to bunch the plants together.
 
i would probably go easy at first. the plants aren't going to have the same rate of growth under the t5 and may not get as hungry as quickly. i always have to feed plants under the hps more often than the ones under floro.
