Ambitious, I like it! I'm at work now on my phone, so the long explanation you need won't work now, later tonite or tomorrow I'll get to all of that. Short answer, 6500s are fine, especially when theyre free! But if youre buying the bloom bulbs, save your money. 8$ ea? Much better options...

Damn, no reason to get so defensive, or to remove posts/pics... All info is good info, but when I check my phone or comp for the latest posts and newest developments with T5s, and its page after page of led posts, I start to wonder if maybe we've gotten off track. Sure, share useful info...

Or..... we could let the Prof wrap up his thread when hes done with his thread, and we can add our T5 related contributions whenever we have relevant input. I have a thread of my own, I come here to talk T5, then HID/cfl and everything else there. Im all for seeing everyones T5 bud shots...

Completely understandable, I'm the same way and don't think I'll ever really be satisfied, but I come here for T5 info and lately its been pages and pages about leds. I love the group, but there are tons of threads that have already explored and perfected it, like we're doing here w t5. This...

Absolutely, the blooms will look like HPS, heavy in yellow and green, and the 6500k's have good blue, but plenty of green/yellow also. They will work but it wont be ideal. You want blue and red. Do some research first to know what you're doing, but you can match HID watt for watt with them T5's...

Its A Girl!! mexican brick bagseed, 12/12 since 10days old.

My current grow is my first with any quality strains, so I dont have any to compare to. From what Ive seen, a blue heavy veg spectrum causes slower growth, but much tighter internodes and bushier so it may take longer to veg to a suitable size for flowering. But for flowering, no idea. The...

Oh hooo-leee-shit man I didnt see your big cfl reflector the first time thru, I didnt look at it closely at least... TURKEY PAN!!! I thought I was the only one creative enough! I have a bunch of pics on my journal that I kinda abandoned from my first grow, you'd prob dig a few of my homemade cfl...

Welcome to the community! FloraSuns and WavePoint Blue/ReefWave. $8ea! would work well through Veg, then for flowering... Im sure you'll have an idea by the time you get there :)

I havent compared their B/G spikes, but their Red spikes are almost the same as the FloraSun... The two PlantGrows I have both have tiny little holes in the phosphor coating= UVc leaks... they just dont seem as well made as the FloraSuns. They're twice the price and seem like lower quality (both...

AquaMedic Plant Grow, ATI ProColor, AquaticLife Roseates, ZooMed FloraSun, CoralLife Colormax Ozram Fluora77 *EU only, Sylvania Gro-lux *EU only All have a peak at 660, and a majority of their output in the 610-660 region. Bulb selection/balance. I was reminded by someone recently that the...

Wow, off topic abit here. My beloved T5 thread is becoming diluted with convo about HID and LEDs, they will all work just fine, and have their own threads to show it.

Thanks man! I was wondering what kinda shrinkage you guys think I should normally expect to lose during drying. I think I remember reading that you should get about 1/3 your wet weight after cure... Sound about right? I had 2.2oz of popcorn off that sativa, that finished at .70oz cured. So it...

So after harvesting the Mari-guaro cactus... 14.60oz wet... 14" total height... not bad

Final Flowering Panel after swapping the PlantGrows in for the Roseates Top Down... FloraSun, RedSun, CoralWave, PlantGrow, FloraSun, RedSun, CoralWave, PlantGrow Here's what the roseates look like next to different bulbs bloom, actinic, x2 Roseates. They look good here, but arent as pink...

you still need it. I have a 185cfm PC server tower type fan for intake and exhaust of my 52w-28d-32h veg box. Thats enough ventilation to cool 8 bulbs, inside the box is usually about 3 degrees warmer than the rest of the room. Thats exchanging the air every 20 seconds or so. Do math, it sux but...

I retract my former dis-approval for the Roseate's, I think they may have their place in filling in a complete spectrum. They appeared flat white next to the FloraSun and RedSuns but on their own they do infact show a pink/rosy hue. So there's some red in there, but Im still reserving them for...

Ive looked at those also, they're a 610nm bulb, good for commercial displays and games at the carnival, not so good for plants. Sylvania does make the Gro-Lux which is a tri-band tube heavy in 630-660nm like other pink plant bulbs, but with a little less green I think, I also think they're EU...
