I would use the t5 for veg stage and you could use it for the first week in flower, then start using the 750w hps, should keep strech to min


keep the t5's 2-3" above the canopy

Use the t5s for now. The 500 isnt needed at the moment.

Save some coin on running costs while you run the t5s.

When she gets a coupe of branches, turn on the big mumma:hump:
How many nodes should i wait till i turn on the big mumma ?
lol

Changing the lights tmrw to the T5's will keep your guys updated any advise as to how long should i veg for in this tent size should i topped them and what nodes should i topped them

Might need to get a dehumidifier at night when the lights shuts off my humidity goes up at day time my temp stays at 75 degrees at 50% humidity when lights shut off temp goes to 60's and humidity goes up to 70's Highest it went to was 80 not good
Defo get a dehumidifier! I had problems at start of my grow at night time humidity would rise to much! Plus when your at the final weeks of flowering you'll want the humidity below 40 and you'll need a dehumidifier to do it.. Be a good idea to spend some extra money on a decent 1.. And your seedling is looking good I'd agree with a comment maybe pull your light down abit.. Goodluck m8

Just my opinion, but I can not use MH or HID because of my situation, so I use t5 all the way through and just change color of bulbs for flower. I always come out with a nice yield. I do use some supplemental lighting in the way of a UFO LED or CFL, but here is a pic at exactly 3 weeks from seed. t5 lighting only if this gives you any idea.

Hey Guys I Changed The XXXL Magnum Hood Today To My 4ft 8 Bulb T5's By Sun Blaze This Is How It's Sitting So Far What Do You Guys Think ?

Right Now I'm Getting Temps Of 79 Degrees And 45% Humidity With All 8 Bulbs On Is This To Much Or Should I Only Leave 4 On Also I Think Im About To Turn The Fan's Speed Down Cause Both Of My Ventech Fans Were On High On The Controller When Using The Cool Hood

With the temperature at 79 with all 8 that's good for you to know so if/when you do run em all, you're good. Ladies look good.

Try a very weak feeding. Now more than 1/4 strength of the suggested mix on the label. 1/4 strength and no more at this age & stage.

I was going to get some soil to start with the seedlings but I was doing some research and found out that a lot of people were using ffof for seedlings with no problem so I decided to go with it so far germination rate is at 100% no burns or anything 8) :hump:

That can be related to strain but I use FFOF straight to plant seedlings in. And to germinate in if I have nothing else.Just do NOT add any nutes until the plant actually shows the need.
