Just took cuttings from the Misty Momma. Trimmed the hell out of both so the new clones will have slightly stretched stems! It works really well! There is 12" between light and canopy...

Thank you. I AM planning to flower with the T5's, but I need an intake fan before I close off the flower side...My Le Fruit from the right side went to a NICE garden about a month ago...It is 4 feet 'round, 5 feet high, and under a 1000w HPS...This strain has AMAZING COLA's!!! I'll take some pics next time I'm down...We're flushing NOW!!!

If any one stumbles onto this journal thread, I'm sorry to say the closet was shut down, and I let my friend take over for now. In the next few weeks, I will be starting a new thread, entitled,"The Reactor". I will be using PRIMARILY vertical 600 Watt hps bulbs, open, with a 1000 watt MH on the ceiling. My Veg room will have a 600 watt MH. I quite enjoyed the T5 experience. But my budget has gone way up, so I think MH will penetrate and give me a more "ball" looking bush. This will illuminate a flowering foot print of 110 square feet. 5,000 lumens from all angles is the goal! Stay tuned! :fire:

Dang dude, those mommas are gorgeous. I was looking forward to seeing what some low-red spec t5's would do in flower, but equally looking forward to your new project. - ive got the exact same t5 panel by the way, it kicks ass.:leaf:

I have used t5's to flower for quite a few harvests. I wasn't completely satisfied but averaged an oz of meds per plant lst'ed and topped. That is an 8 bulb, all red tube and badboy fixture The light penetration part of it has been a problem for me. It does work though and you get good meds. Give us a link to your new thread please...??
