T5 vs. LED for veg?

Bills138sblstarted grow question 5y ago

So I have a T5 light, and I’ve used it to veg quite a bit, and it does really well. My question is, should I use the T5 in just the seedling phase, then use LED for veg and flower? Or will the T5 give me good results throughout the veg cycle?

The T5 is the old school veg lights so you can go with it as long as your spectrum is a veg one. Today leds are far better than T5 , however If you have a dedicated veg space for cloning and veg you can use the T5 for that purpose and have great results

Can I switch my lighting schedule ?Hello everyone. 1st grow here. I'd like to swap my lighting (automatic plants) from [4am:midnight] to [4pm:noon] just to keep the temperature a little higher at night. Is it doable while not hurting the ladies or should I shift it an hour per day to change the cycle ? Thanks !

LUX meter grow question Can someone check out the LUX meter video and tell me how I should be positioning my lights? I think maybe I have too much light on them. My meter says 600 (x100) that puts me at like 60000 lumen. The converter I used put that to 1541.36 umol/s/m2 which is a lot of light already

Switching from led to hps for flower?Howdy, does anyone switch from a blurple led board for veg, to a hps or similar style light for flower? Why, why not? Is it worth the little extra hassle to buy and install? I like my led just fine, but wondering if there’s more to be gained in flavor, quality & yield. Thanks!

If I move 3wk old S.Diesel & Critical from 18hrs💡indoors to outdoors where they'll get +/-11hrs direct🌞. Is there still a risk of them going into flower even though they're still babies? I really don't want this to happen. They'll be in the woods so no chance to add extra light
