Welcome Treetop. I too stopped growing to focus on children, welcome back bud.
The price of rec weed in IL had me thinking I’d rather grow my own. I’m probably going to run my autos first under 480w LED AND T5. They are blueberry Afghan and skunk 1 from Seedsman. When I first started reading up on autos most people where running 24/0 but lately I’ve seen more posts saying done dark period is better 20/4. Also have to 600w lumateks with both eye hps and mh bulbs. Eventually keeping a mother or two behind in the t5 led area and moving things over to a HID to flower.
I’ll probably post a pic and/or drawing of my grow space and let everyone have a say in the build. Thanks for the welcomes.
Yes, I started out running autos at 18/6. I knew my lights ‘Meh’ so I was wondering if I could up the light. Last 2 grows at 20/4 & I see an improvement. But that’s under my lights. I believe they need a little down time - basically to run night processes.
Anyway, welcome and please start a grow log if you can.
Cheers

I’m a fan of T5. I’ve grown a lot of coral with them. Do you notice that the led’s make a very sharp distinct shadow, but the T5 seems to penetrate into the individual plant or canopy? It’s definitely way more pleasant to look at imo.
I can’t really comment on difference in light penetration. My hlg knockoff led 480w knockoff
Had me seeing funny when I cranked it up while it was leaning against the couch and had me seeing funny for about 10 minutes. I’ve only used a t5 once to start some seeds and clones, then stopped that grow. My new one has left the box. I haven’t even tested my used ballasts and new bulbs yet. After the 4th I’ll have the time to get the ball rolling.
T5 def more pleasing on the eyes lol

Hello TreeTop. Welcome to OG. Look forward to see your grow.
Wow, welcome to OG everyone… Summer is a busy time for me and it’s hard to get much time in front of the computer. It’s great to have you all here. I’m pretty sure you’ll really like it. We have a lot of really great people from all over the world, all thinking the same.
@Patrice, I hear you on the SSDD. I started three f2’s and flowered two and put one outside. I’m just now putting the first two in jars and the outside one will be huge. My indoor ones got seeded a little from pollination in some high winds for a few days. So, I’m regrowing the clones out to get them flowering without seeds. I should have a good stash of it to smoke by then! I love the SSDD. peace

Well I know i’m gonna be lurking for a while and ive already had a browse through a lot… i love your ethics and how you interact here compared to others ive seen… so decided to put myself out there and sign up…
well from an early age ive always had a keen interest in the plant and been lucky enough to have a good mentor for a fair few years… so about 20 years ago me and a few friends had a seed out of a bag we’d just bought… well living on the edge of town with a few forest/fields a couple of us went and germinated this seed in a cassette pack with tissue… whilst listening to some drum and bass… (yes I still have my chavvy tape pack that I occasionally put on but most of the time now its radio 2) a few days we put it in a small pot we knicked from my mates mum… we had that in his room for about a week then off we went… all happy as… thinking we was gonna have loads in a few months… long story short our happiness was put to an end about 2 weeks after that… there was just a stalk… it had been eaten or hacked… that put an end to our collective but for me I was very interested. a few years gone past a family friend was in the industry so to speak… and it all started there for me but due to relationships and old bill its been an on off era for me… this lockdown has made me wanna go back to my fridge to dig out a few bits but im such an orange fan I think ill be popping a few different orange family strains and maybe let a little pollen go on them on the second run… anyway nervous talking… speak soon
Welcome to OG @Blue. We’re happy to have you here. No need to be nervous around here. We’re mostly all just normal misfits who love to smoke and grow pot. Make yourself at home and just ask until you figure stuff out. peace
