Messed up photoperiod

[Gingerbeard]

Thanks to my Spectralux brand t5, my photoperiod got messed up so I was only able to give about four hours of light to my veggers. Problems?
The Spectralux lasted a bit less than 2500 hours, if I do my math right and carry the one.

Any small amount of light can help, a table lamp with a CF bulb, , even a flashlight is enough to get you by so they don't flowe untill you can replace it.

good luck Gbeard

I left my tent flap open when the lights were off. Hopefully that was enough to help. Thanks.

 

[Mr.furley]

Yes anything will help, of course the more the merrier.

Goodluck Gingerbeard hopefully you'll catch it in time, how old are they?

 

[Gingerbeard]

Ten and a half weeks.

Yeah, this is typical of cheap LED fixtures. All the hype minus the light.

 

[Gingerbeard]

It was a t5.

 

[Toker1]

Ah. I stand corrected. Still stand by my previous statement though.
I had a t5 bulb blow out on me after the first week of operation. It was surprising. Nonetheless I sent it back to the manufacturer and they sent me a replacement that has been in over 6 months now with out issue.

At first I bought two t5's. I had to return one because the fixture wasn't put together correctly so the bulb fell out. I ordered a second light from the same people and got a completely different one. This third light is the one that blew. It didn't come with a light cover which was a real bummer because they are a much hotter light without one.

 

[Toker1]

Wow. Epic failure on that distribution company.

 

[Gingerbeard]

Wow! The second Spectralux t5 went out.

Note to all: Spectralux is a lousy brand.
