T-5 update with pics. 3 weeks flower from seed

The big-uns had a little over 2 weeks veg, and the lillte-uns went straight to flower from the word go. They are all doing great thanks to my new toys. Foxfarm nutes, and soil.

i dont see pics... is this supposed to link to another thread?

im high, there on there now

hmmm that looks good. from what ive seen on this site it looks like the t-5s produce better plants than the t-8s. wish i would have gotten a few t-5 for supplimental light. good shit, ill keep watching for some bud shots in a few weeks

looks nice. i really wish i would have gotten t5s and not a 400watt MH for veg. buds look real good too!

That is because t5 lamps provide ideal spectrum for plant growth. Photocynthesis rates peak at 435 nm and 680 nm. A 6500k t5 has a spectral distribution with relative intensity peaks at 435 nm and 615nm. This equates to very little wasted light energy in terms of plant growth.
