My future 8-bulb setup would be No longer using the red sun, I don't care how RED the unusable light is. It has no other blue Par, not wasting a T5 Aquafloro x1 - good spectrum and best 640nm bulb imo, a lot of color from this bulb is PAR and very little is wasted in green Plant Grow x4 - best...

I'd say the red suns are 100% useless for vegging.

When I meant junk I was not only referring to the technical problems, they aren't emitting the correct wavelength, they produce no usable light for chlorophyll A's red spectrum. chlorophyll B is barely made at 633nm, but the Red suns spectrum drops SO fast after 633nm and plants start using more...

Well Chlorophyll A is barely made at 633nm. If you look closely you'd see that very very little of chlorophyll A is made with that redsun. BUT Chlorophyll B synthesis starts to pick up at 630nm. I think the red suns are DECENT at fulfilling only the red spectrum of Chlorophyll B but do...

Can you tell me why you guys think the UVL Red Suns are good for bloom? Red spectrum we need must peak at 640nm and 660nm, and anything inbetween. Here the "plant grow" bulb shows plenty distribution in that area, especially since the band is wide. That big 450nm spike might be more...

I think I've found an easier to read graph of the "Ocean" blue one, taking a closer look at it we see it doesn't emit high enough on the 450 side to justify it's effectiveness at that peak.. http://www.aqua-medic.de/index.php?r=catalog/product&id=213 so.... comparing EVERY other bulb listed on...

http://www.aquasythe.com/Departments/Lighting/Fluorescent-Lighting/T5-Fluorescent-Aquarium-Lighting/T5-Aquarium-Bulbs/AquaMedic-T5-Lamps.aspx 108$ shipped for what I think is the best 4-bulb veg combo, Ocean Blue is best blue spectrum T5 on the market. It's like a combination of UVL Super...

also look up the aqua medic ocean blues.. they have high peaks at 400-450nm. usually you'd need two bulbs to hit both of those (one at 430nm and one at 450nm). Damn.. so many possibilities. These aqua medics seem golden though, right? http://www.aqua-medic.com/t5_bulbs.shtml I feel like I've...

First I'd like to say I'm currently on page 97 of this thread and intend on reading it all, but I think I've found the best 48" T5 that covers the best red spectrum.. after some looking. we know that chlorophyll A and B peaks at 642nm and 662nm, check out this bulb It's by Aquamedic, its...

Hi, I'm growing indoors under one 1K HPS. My plants are in 7 gallon smart pots this cycle but may switch up and down between 7 and 5 depending on my space. I use a combination of soils: happy frog, ocean forest, and roots organics potting natural & organic potting soil. I add perlite to this...

i yielded about 21.5 ounces of dried bud.. emerald jack by emerald triangle seeds yielded about 4.5 ounces of nice dense nugs, very potent and nice bag appeal... some of my buds caught mold while drying due to denseness and i think the air was stale for like 8 hours, my circ fan may have...

I'm doing my second grow, On my first grow I grew in 2.6 gal hydrofarm white tubs and transplanted into 5/7 gal smart pots and then flowered under my 1000w Right now Im transplanting the ones for my next cycle from 2.6 gal tubs and its pretty damn annoying and was wondering if i could just...

maybe they are just not suitable for indoor growing.

Maybe it's the strain man, I've never heard of that. Do you have the option to buy another bottle of nutrients? I don't think it's any deficiencies. How are you feeding them? and how often?

I honestly think you are being too hard on yourself, taking a seed a little longer to root because of a different medium is definitely nothing that will hurt your yield. I guarantee if you transplanted them into the same medium (rapid rooter/jiffy pellet - after both are rooted) you would see...

I thought you aren't supposed to use Superthrive during bloom? I'm using FloraNova bloom right now with pretty good success, first grow, but they all look and smell amazing. I use a bunch of additives but I'd say if I was on a 50$ budget I'd just use floranova and a sweetener

I may be wrong here.. but I'm pretty sure you should never use organic nutrients in hydro... other than that i'd say you could do 6-8 plants... in 5-7 gals with however long of a veg period you want, it's pretty simple to calc out once you know about how much your plants need

I found your problem. don't do 12/12 from seed.

They are 7 weeks into 12/12.... they've had extended darkness a couple weeks ago but light has been stable for the last week... i slowly rolled it back from 10pm-10am to 9pm-9am because its better to run my lights at night and sunrise is earlier now. This morning instead of turning off at 9 am...

ah, Damn. I'll take some better ones in a little then.. only so much u can do with a cell phone
