The system I have is a hydroponic "Garden of Ease" made by sunleaves. I'm growing in silica stone, in a tub after corrected ph. This is a 6 gallon tub. Continuous aeration system. 3" net cups. My lighting system is a high intensity, low-heat light with an efficient Sunleaves pioneer IV bloom T 5 fixture. It has 4, 54-watt vitaLUME T 5 bloom tubes each with a 2, 900k color temperature. It measures 47 "x 15" with a depth of 2 1/4 ". All inside a Dark room with a reflective lining. (24"x 24"x 64")I have a fan blowing it at the bottom and another blowing out the top.I'm growing 4 plants. 3 indica dominant fem and one bag seed.

Do I need to get additional lighting to flower? The light is about 6"away now. Any suggestions or advice appreciated. :weed:

its not whether or not its enough...its whether they will work at all....900k is far from the right spectrum of light for plant growth

yeah i did read it wrong...looked like 2, 900 where the 2 was the end of another sentence...started thinking a 900k bulbs isnt even possible seeing as candle light is around 1,000k
