Cool I'm going to have to go back and spend some time checking that out. I haven't dabbled in playing with lights yet but I find if fascinating and what people can do and manipulation of how a plant will grow through spectrum. Thanks for letting me know I am sure I will learn something.Thanks @Bmurrciless
Thanks pal.
I've been dabbing with light for a while now. Working toward finding light recipe's to use at different stages of the plant's life cycle.
This double ended 630 CMH light with far red LEDs is my second such light. It has a nice foot print for flowering 6x5.
I built a single 315cmh w/far red leds last spring. I seen good results from using it. In regards to stem elongation and leaf n bud site production.
If you look back in this thread you can see where I use light depth techniques outside in conjunction with using experimental lights outside.
Finding light recipe's is slow. ( plants grow slow and some strains may react a little different than other strains. Also my working space is small ) Need lot's more testing and testers to expedite more results. To take this to the next level. Thanks for stopping in.

I hope to start making clones this week. 2 or 3 are ready to take a nice top clone.The group under the t5 with the 4 red tubes and 4 blue are all longer and wider
Got the air cloner ready and running.

A lot of good info. Dr Bugbee can answer a lot of your ? about light and all ? on plant nutritional needs.
Watch his vids.
time well spent.
Happy girls!!Thanks Bill

Thanks for the tip I will look into that for sureA lot of good info. Dr Bugbee can answer a lot of your ? about light and all ? on plant nutritional needs.

Hey GTG ! The girls are looking super, they would love the indoors now as it would be winter in your area. I also have Pineapple Poison from SSSC. Its a mostly SSSC grow this time. Soil looks great, i had some trouble with the searles time release soil, ( always throw a few fert beads out when i do the soil as well as any large bark) this time around being a bit hot. The T5s are good lights, never acted up yet, and pretty cheap to replace bulbs. Grow is rocking GroBro
Thanks Smokey
Yes the t5 light's are good. But led t5 replacements are great light's too. And are cheeper to run. 22 Watts per led tubes compared to the fluorescent T5 tube at 52 watts per tube.
Also the LED T5 replacements are plastic tubes so they're pretty hard to break.. the ones I have I can daisy chain 5 Lights together in a string. And I think I got 10 or 12 of them for under 90 bucks on Amazon.
I use them for lite vegging. Trying to keep this plants small. ( Confined grow space.) But if I wanted to veg and put vigorous growth in it then I would use a high-powered bright LED with far red or the 41k CMH light and a bit of far red leds to make them grow big and fast.
So you are using a time released soil?
You are throwing the wood pieces out?

Thats good to know there is LED replacement for the T5s, they would last longer i assume also. I remember the good CMH lights from last year. The red LEDs sound good, i use T5s/sun for vege and T5s /sun for bloom.Yes time released searles soil. Without the time release pallets it would be a nice base soil. Some appeared a bit large so I just removed the larger bits as well as some of the time release pallets
