New Grower T5 question

[Germn8]

watsup again

my growing rig is a dressor i converted. Itʻs roughly 1ʻ-6ʻʻ deep x 32" wide x 4ʻ-6" tall. I have three 3gal pots in there snug, each with there own starter which just made 2 weeks.

i have two t5ʻs in there that fit perfect, do you think this will be enough lighting? I have them about 4" above the plant

I was thinking about getting two more to mount on my side walls, would that be overkill? my thinking is, when the plant gets taller these sidemounted t5ʻs will catch the underneath and bring in some girth

i was gonna post this in the lighting thread but since iʻm a total nubian this forum might be better

I'd go with the added t5 mate,I'd doubt it will be overkill but it may mess with yr temps and push them up.what wattage are yr current t5s,are you running veg or flower tubes?

I agree. I would add them just as long as your temps and ventilation is on point. Are you using four foot T5s? Or two footers?

 

[Germn8]

2 foot t5ʻs @ 6500k. i believe they are 24 watt each so a total of 48 watts in my rig. i got ventilation in there so i dont think it will be to hot for them

 

[The Squid]

Then yeah add then for sure. Not a whole lot you have there now for three plants. So the more of those you can add the better.

 

[Germn8]

Will do. Thanks squid

deffinatly add as many more as you can without temps spiking. i loved the growth of t5's but in my mum tents they seemed to produce just as much heat as a lower wattage hps.

1 bank of T5HO, 5000k, 4 x 2', has been my veg light for several years now...inside a cupboard/armoire. I do rec ya keep ya lights close (within a couple of inches) as ya can even if ya have to keep a breeze moving to maintain temps....
More is better....

Yah auto man I'll check for ho 5000k to ad to the arsenal. Gonna get more t5's , I was asking because I was told by a friend two bulbs would beore than enough, guess not. I do have fan blowing to bring in fresh air and keep things cool. I kep em about 4" away
