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

When to flip into flower?currently midway through my 9th week of veg and am wondering when I should send plants into flower, should I double check sex first? (Feminized seeds) or wait until my screen fills out more? Plants are in 3 gallons pots and I worry that they might get rootbound if I veg Longer.

Bud too close to the lightHi. The main bud on one is 10cm from the light. I cant raise the light any higher and have a bit more vertical growth to go. Shall I remove the bud at a lower artery, or leave it and bend it around the light somehow?? Don't want to loose the main bud but will if I have to?!?

Lighting cycle for VEG stage. Is 24x7 OK?Hi,
Should I use the VEG lights 24x7 from the time I plant my seed until it's ready to bloom, or would something like 18 hours on and 6 hours off make more sense? Is there a "best practice" for veg lighting? It has worked for my first 3 grows. VIPARSPECTRA 600W LED
Thanks,

Plants Growing Taller Than LightMy plants are growing taller than the LED light! The hanging wires that came w/ the light are now too long; even after rigging the wires so the light will hang at a higher distance. I am using a 4 ft. tall grow tent. How/what can I use to adjust the height of the light?Week 9
