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

Too close to the “sun”(light).... any advice?My plant grew close to 4x it’s original size during her stretch, 10-12” on day one of 12/12 to 46” tall. She’s on day 30 of flower and I set up a second ScrOG net. Other than blocking light to shorter plants, do you see any other potential problems this second net might cause?

Weak full spectrum led place in front of window enough to finish bloom?The weather looks really bad so i guess i need to take her inside a lot. I place her inside a barn in front of the glass door but she still hasnt there much light there. I ordered a 40 Watt full spectrum LED to add on the sunlight. Just read "used power 10 W" Will that be enough

Max 180w LED output for 2x4x6 tent with 3 plants. Good enough?I have a 3-chip 1000W LED with a max output of 180w (Veg 125w, Bloom 55w):
I'm growing autos in a 2x4x6 tent. I'd like to grow 3 plants at a time. Do I need another grow light? Will the one I have suffice?

When will the plant be good?..Hi! I am a beginner grower. I converted a refrigerator for micro-growing. How long until my first plant is finished? It grew semi-open air. The box was ready a few weeks ago and I put it in. My lamp is viperspectra p600. I welcome any useful advice. Thanks.

I know it says perfect for 3x3. But I also heard specs can be exaggerated/wrong.Setup. Lighting

Wich of those cheap lights would be advised under 200€ and that would fit both final vegging state and flowering?
The grow space is 80cmx80cmx160cm and keeping in mind that the weather along with the lack of ventilation budget limits my options to colder leds.
Thanks in advanceWeek 1

Bad idea?Will a mars hydro TS1000 be too strong for a 60x60x140cm tent?
I have been using a TS600 and TS1000 in tandem in a tent 4x too big for the light level, I have been growing strong and tasty buds but with low yields so downsizing my tent size to maximise the light.Other. General questions
