We had to have the light dep arm re-worked so we can cover the entire greenhouse. It wasn't working properly. I will be taking another 2doz plants up from my basement to join those already there. I cannot take the other plants up until we get the dep arm working, because for now they are using 2 carport frames inside the greenhouse & there is no room for more plants under the carport frames.....
in this picture You can get an idea for the size of the greenhouse, it dwarf's the carports...

Effect of color spectrum on growth and flowering of plants.jpg
I think the reason they go into flower after being inside under t-5s is that it's only a blue light spectrum. I am going to put a hps along with my t-5 to give them some red spectrum before they go outside so they are use to both red and blue. I just plan to run the 600 hps for a couple hours a day. what do you guys think?
From my experience playing with LED I always was under the impression the red spectrum was more important when it comes to flowering and blue promoted veg, I may be wrong but that's what I read when i was researching.

this is correct Red . The reason I think adding some red before moving a full season plant outside is the sun emits both blue and red. If the clone is only use to blue then outside it gets red as well it may trigger flower. Adding alittle red inside might get it use to the suns spectrums .
