I am wondering if you guys would share your experience with using cheaper t5's compared to those of a higher price?
I am running some cheap ones and I didnt have great sucess with them. I did not have a very nutrient rich substrate but fed to the water colum. I would like to know so I can have an idea if my poor growth was due to the poor quality lighting or lack of nutrients in the substrate.
I was running co2 at approx 30ppm feeding EI method with 8 hours of light. 8 at 1.5 WPG with a 2 hr burst in the middle at a total of 3 WPG.
My next scape I am thinking that I will take our 2 of my 8 T5's dropping the WPG to 1.8 with the same sort of burst setup I did the the previous scape.
Cheers!
