Phal under T5 proper distance

[jkofferdahl]

Mine are about a foot under my bulbs except those with taller spikes. I have no clue as to a "proper" distance. They're happy and productive. I'd say the upper plant, blooming, could use more light.

It is good I ask. I was worried that I might get the blooming flower to wither because of too much light.

I read that Phal like about the same amount of sun as we do. Well I'm not much of a sun personne, I'm always running for some shade.

Well now I know better... Thanks.

Two questions:

1. Is your T5 setup 'high output', both the fixture & bulb?

2. Do you know the wattage?

1. I'm sorry not sure I understand correctly this question. Did you mean the 'light output' ? It is 3627 Lumens

2. The wattage is 39 Watts / Lumens per Watt 93

The T5's I have are the T5H0 from Sunblaster. Here is the spec sheet for the 36" length one, which is the one on that shelve.
