Your plants are beautiful my friend. I dig the color of the pistils, I didn't get anything fun mine were only ever white before they curled XD. But my temps were always kinda high so I couldn't really bring out fun colors

I've been considering getting me a nice t5 fixture. I have experience with old school t12's and t8's, but never t5's. They seem to be working really well for you, my friend. Nice grow!
Thank you! I'm really happy with how my stuff has turned out so far, T-5 is pretty nice. I would suggest trying to keep an even of a canopy as possible if you do grab one, that's something I didn't quite do my first time around which I wish I did. Also, it only costs about $16 where I am to add about 50w of CFL, inlcuding the socket and bulbs, so if your plants end up stretching (Like mine did) I also suggest adding some extra CFL's, they made very noticeable growth. The top buds were the biggest, the bottom buds by the CFL's were the 2nd biggest, and the middle buds were generally smaller, and I didnt add the extra CFL's until a few weeks into flower

For sure man. I feel ya. SCROGing is the way to go, im sure. and All the strains I have right now are super lanky and not bushy at all.

My first grow I just let the plant do its own thing and I had 230w(10) of cfls around the plant.this grow I put that mars 2 panel right over main plant and it only uses like 180w and im guna have more bud this time for sure.but im sure topping and lst got me them gains cause of all the tops being even.

Yeah I think I will definitely LST or scrog more in my next grow. I can imagine my T-5 working much better with a more even canopy

Edit: Just saw day 50, looking great man must be fun looking at your plants
