Looks good. I'll follow along. Haven't seen T-5's used very often for flowering, should be informative.

Have you flowered with t-5's before? It seems like that you have enough light but when you start flowering, will the t-5s produce the correct spectrum of red light? Does anyone the spectrum information for t-5s ?

Just swap out your blue veg bulbs for red flower bulbs. It's that simple.
Cajun, you should see my Pandora brotha. I'm chopping her in 4 days.
I'd post pics to show these guys you can flower well with T5's but I
don't want to jack your thread

The only updates are i had purchased 2 praying mantis eggs a month ago foregot i had put them on the girls , i opened the cabninet the other day and there were praying Mantis all over the place , I did check tricones and there are a plenty of course all clear at this time , I would have thought the smell would have been stronger by now some smell just not over powering The buds are forming nicely and the hairs are begining to curl Day 29 of flowering today will post pics soon.

Cool, let's see some pics of the mantises, too :mrgreen: I really like the way they look...like little alien beings, lol. Not sure I'd like 'em so much if they were crawling all over my cab. I used to photograph them a lot when I had a (rare) visitation of one of them in my yard. They're easy to photograph (since they don't move so fast). Never thought of putting a few in my indoor garden, though. Maybe just one (or two of the same sex), so they couldn't reproduce and overrun the place. I like to look at 'em, but not sure I'd want a whole family of 'em crawling on my arms and legs. Then again, who knows, it might be kinda interesting...

Why Mantis ? I was told they were good to kill spider mies and anything else on the plant ,last grow i had spider mite problems the whole grow , now this grow has been a cool grow temps have not gone above 74 too many times , the weather has been cool and the lights are so so much cooler. I am not going to complain promise to take pictures soon
