Much earlier in the Club T5 thread, I believe it was chronikool, who said one can run Zoomed Florasuns from start to finish.

Well I routinely run 2 from onset of buds, but this grow late into flower I added one more. The 3rd I added 3 days ago, replacing a Quantum Flower (2900K)

That shifted the color balance from pink to a bluish pink

2 days ago I added `70ppm of sea crop minerals to ~ 180ppm V+B thinking bumping minerals might further fatten the buds

Yesterday afternoon I notice lots of new pistils

Not sure if it's due to the extra FS, the minerals, or both

Another factor is temps have gone up from low 70s to mid 80s during the day, and low 70s at night

I think in combination with their Tropic Sun would be awesome for veg 1:1, then for flower 1:3

I thought I bought some, but turned out they were T8s.

I still use Florasuns in my T5 mix and believe you could grow a nice plant using only them but have never tried with only them.

Sounds good, and for flowering replace the 6500s with 2900Ks and/or UVL Red Lifes.

Anybody know of an equivalent at a much lower price?

Anyway, I only use those once buds set so ~ 5-6 weeks per grow. Mine have lasted 4+ grows, and are starting to fade glass. One near the end caps has > 1" dark ring. I replaced it with a ZM FS

Final Pics

Wish I could let them go a little longer- beginning to see oily leafs

Alas, a incoming water pipe leaking means I need an ins adjuster to come in home. Held them off until Friday morning to grab a few more days

Pulling some today for my biz partner

the rest come down tomorrow

This cola is as long as my forearm > 16"s

It took me a long time to embrace scrogging- this is cubing, same thing, different device. I started late, but still paid huge dividends

They could benefit greatly from another 4-5 days, so...

I took a calculated risk

covered the frame (they're already in a dark room) and shut off the power (lights + rez) in case the adjuster wanted to see that bathroom

Never did, so we're still on, at least until the company I need to hire to find the leak comes

All I need is 4-5more days.

Night time weather cooperating

Stay tuned for final pics

If it is not obvious, then I assume the Leak was due to Ice Damming?

I got a $6K Lesson and Education in Ice Damming this Winter ON MY House!

Happy you didnt NEED to pull the Girlz premature! You get the LED's yet?

Peace

OMG that's funny

Been running the ac every day for the last 5 days from 2-5, just to keep room temps < 80*s, BUT, the problem started after warming back up from a 2 week cold snap

House was built in 1958, so OLD plumbing.

I think the problem is up high on a incoming water pipe, probably to the third floor bath.

When water gets higher than the breech it drains out of the hole

New leds coming from china, and I'm on the SE US coast, so hopefully by end of next week

Anyway, don't need them now. Only 4-5 more days before I harvest

Deep in flush mode last 7-10 days, using ~ 70ppm Sea Crop only, a fair amount of new pistils

On a recommendation to amp up tric production using 10K bulbs, 2 days ago I replaced some red spectrum hot5 tubes with 3 Quantum 6500s, which is a fall back position

Zipping through this thread, this morning I added MgCa (2:1) supplement for humans then decided to add a pinch of HR V+B= ~ 270ppms. I plan to dilute that to ~ 200 in a bit

Thought I would post new pics

Will they ever finish?

I thought they were near done a month ago and began slow flushing, using only minerals. Finally, a couple days ago I gave them a bit of Epsom Salt (CaMg)

Well this morning I threw in the towel, and gave them a bit of food

Now ~75 days since bud set
