T5 and cacti question
    #13221668 - 09/20/10 08:06 AM (13 years, 4 months ago)

I am sure this has been asked before... But I have a couple spare T5 and t8 sitting around.. and was wondering.. If they would be sufficient lighting for  Lophs, TB and TBM.. 

Thanks

Lophs maybe, but almost no artificial lighting will TRULY grow healthy and thick Trichocereus.

Are you just using the lights to overwinter them, or to grow them all year?

Well... I Do not have anything under the lights right now.. I am probably gonna try some lophs(from seed) all year around as a little experiment just to see how it goes :grin:..

I figure they would probably work fine for Overwinter.. Was really just wanted to see if anyone else has tried this

I have used T8 tubes for a while on most of my cacti. They work very well. I wouldn't attempt to grow columnar cacti under them though.
Don't bother setting up grow lights for over wintering, just let them go dormant.
