over 60 views and no post, now don't get me wrong I don't need to have folks say "looking good" and I understand a lot of you are just here to learn and that is a good thing, the more MJ growing in the world the better the world :)

But I have to seriously say that what you are seeing is all about the whole garden, everything dialed in and controlled, done at the right time, waiting for things to happen and learning how to hear the plants tell you what they want/need

I have tried to post as many pics as I can to show you these things so you will have an idea when you see em in your garden

thanks for lurking :)

Ha ha, I mostly lurk because when I think of a question I can usually find the answer by going back through your journal, I tend to forget stuff easily now for some stupid reason.

Hey Riddle and fellow followers,

Riddle, you da MAN! Thank you for your gifts and setting a great example. Ignorance sucks!

Personally, I have a ton of info with little experience, so I'm thinkin I'm dangerous 8]

I do have a question about light spectrums. CMH and T5 54w 6400k. I can't seem to find a graph for the T5's. I know you posted one for CMH a while back. I have the HydroFarm 4ft fixture, 8 lamps, 450w. Using AgroBrite lamps which are supposed to be tweaked for a more plant friendly spectrum. Any idea how the compare?

I know nothing about AgroBrite lamps, and I can't even find a manufacturers website when I google the name..

When it comes to bulbs, I think its always best to buy a bulb from a well known manufacturer, that has lots of experience in the lighting industry(GE, Ushio, Osram, Philips,etc). I imagine there are plenty of no name bulb 'manufacturers' that claim their T5s and other bulbs are the best in the biz, and have been tweaked for plants, but in reality, I think they probably are just rebranding some generic bulb, and jacking the price up on you.

If you want to learn about T5's visit aquatic forums that specialize in corals & underwater plants. They use T5's alot, and know much more about the quality of the brands than you can find around here.

The top two T5's Ive seen recommended on these forums are GE Starcoats & Giesemann, but Giesemann are expensive. I got my GE Starcoats at $7.5 each & free shipping. I had a link where someone used a PAR meter to test them, and the Giesemann, and Starcoats were 1 & 2 out of probably 10-15 bulbs tested. Unfortunately, the site has gone down, so I can't even give you the link to check it out.

Thanks Dave. Well, these came with the fixture and have a HydroFarm logo, made in China (what isn't these days). Actually, these fixtures seem to be pretty popular with growers. I did check an aquarium website a while back, looking for a spectrum graph, but couldn't find anything. Doesn't seem to be an AgroBrite website.
