T5 Flourescent Buds from 864w SWC Show

P

Hey all,

Just wanted to share some harvest shots from my 864w Recirculating T5 Attic Grow .

They are drying now so I'm not totally sure on the total weight, but I think this is a great example showing that flourescent lighting can be a GOOD alternative to HID lights. Keep em low and T5s are a GREAT performers. Perfect for growers in stealth situations or vertical restrictions.. Silent operations cooled by small quiet fans.

Lights - 2 8 Lamp T5 Systems
System - Mediumless Recirculating SWC - lucas formula
Strain - White Russian

The nugs are rock solid due to the use of Dr. Nodes to stop the vertical growth.

On with some pics. :lurk:

Thats freaking sweet!!!! Buds look killer...And i like how uniform your canopy looked. If thats resault of using Dr. Nodes, then i think i may need to get some. I love T5 too. Man thats a cool grow! How much did it yeild? And did you say u had two 8ft. T5's....I have only seen 2ft. and 4ft. t5 fixtures. Who makes an 8footer? Anywho nice grow bro!

Wow..thanks for all the quick replys.

The purple had to be the low temps.. it was tough keeping these t5s warm in the attic. Temps were low to say the least.


Lights were 4Ft 8 Lamp Sunleaves Pioneers.

The yeild is yet unknown as they are not dry yet, but I will post an update.

The uniform canopy was due to the T5 lighting and strain I think..as they were pretty uniform all the way through before use of the dr. Nodes. It will however work great for vertical growth control for stretchy plants and sativas.

Peace,

Incredible!!! What would they have looked like without using Dr. Nodes? Would they have been all stretchy and scraggly and loosey-goosey?
