I firmly beleive that these aquarium bulbs should be used as supplement to 6500k lights or HID. I think they would prove as a great addition much like LED. Bring on the photos of good, healthy vigorous growth people!

I already did post a photo of the gnarly twisted stunted growth I got under the blue lights. Since then, I switched back to pink and 6500k and everything is fine. There is PLENTY of blue light already in regular 6500k bulbs because it is the nature of flourescent lighting to have useful blue...

This is starting to get weird. First of all I never "blamed" anyone for purchasing T5 bulbs. I did however state that the PINK T5 bulbs, i.e. ProColor, FloraSun, Plant Grow, work for REAL! I just wouldn't veg under them due to the stretch. So far, all the blue bulbs I have tried, i.e. Fiji...

Heh, no comment eh? You like to go around telling people they are wrong and then not correcting yourself? Seems to me everyone is doing the actual testing of these bulbs for you. I've spent over $800 on T5 bulbs and have found the only real results to be with the ProColors or PINK plant...

NOT PINK?? Here's a photo, I must be colorblind because these are pretty damn pink! You sure you have ProColors? Notice the word ProColor on the bulb. Post photos of your "red" ProColors please, it would be nice to see the difference you are talking about here. From top to bottom...

Well, I tested out the ATI ProColor bulbs I bought. I started with 4 plants all 4 inches tall. I put 4 procolor and 4 spectralux bulbs into an 8 bulb 2 foot T5 sunblaze and vegged for 10 days. The plants grew 24". The leaves are about 10" in diameter! They stretched like crazy however, but...

Ya, I use the 6500K bulbs, they work very well

THIS BETTER NOT BE A WASTE OF $$ because I have spent $750 on T5 bulbs to make this shit happen! Anyway, I emailed the store I purchased the Gro-Lux T5's from and they are OUT OF STOCK. Yeah, thanks for letting me know 3 weeks later. Needless to say that order is CANCELLED! I have now been...

Hyroot, do you have the 1K and the T5 lights right next to each other in the same room? Or are the plants and lights in separate rooms?

My hydro plant is totally all wrinkled up now. Looks like a raisin.....DEFINATELY not healthy, but I know now that it isn't being caused from the lights. I have the plant under a CMH and it is still doing the same weird shit. It must be an over-fertilization problem. Strange as it is on a...

In the T5 fixture I have 2 Fiji Purple, 2 Red Sun, 2 ATI Blue Plus, 2 UVL Super Actinic. The fixture is about 20" from the canopy. I took the photo under white light to see the color.

The Flora Suns are pink. They are identical to the ATI ProColors that are discontinued. I have them running side by side and there is almost no difference. I have already had 2 defective Flora Sun bulbs so watch out for that! The AquaMedic plant grow bulb is really close but it is not quite...

The plant I have under the colored T5's is starting to get a tad weird. The leaves are really dark green and starting to get wrinkled. Any idea why this might be? Here is the same strain under a 1000w HPS Hortilux to give an idea of what the leaves normally look like.

Is this the light configuration you veg under? Flower? Veg?

Just a quick update on the Dr. Earth soil: So Hyroot, you was right once again! Approximately 1 week later, started seeing a Mg deficiency. I am so fed up to this point I just bought some Miracle Grow Moisture control soil. They are looking a lot healthier now and NO BUGS! I purchased a bag...

So I just got some Aqua Medic Plant Grow bulbs and tried them out. They are very "white" looking with a tinge of pink. I would say DEFINATELY stick with the Fiji Purples. So far they are the "reddest" 2nd to the Red Suns. Hyroot, I would say your bulb configuration is the best so far. I did...

Not yet, they are coming from Germany. I just emailed them today to see when they were getting sent out and I got a reply in German.LOL

I don't understand why people have doubts about the Fiji Purple. I know that the specs remain elusive, although a few people in here have already verified that they work, including the guy who started this thread. I'm sure they have both red and blue in them, so I would say it is probably safe...

This bulb seems to be the answer to the elusive Red 660nm, now finding one in the USA might be the next challenge! Osram Fluora 77
