Looks like I'll be postin my next grow here as I have a new test goin on. It was time to replace several of my bulbs and it seems there is a new bulb to try, so I figured I'd give em a run.

They are half the price of the ATI's so right away a positive and they have a bulb nicknamed Ultra Cola :)

Introducing Wave Point ,,,,,

I will be usin several Ultra Waves (they are the pink bulbs in the pic)

I will use their Reef Wave for UV and their Super Blues to replace the ATI Corals

Still waitin on more to arrive as the current grow finishes will post again once the new test grow begins :)

RM3,

If I wanted to run a 4 bulb T5 in one area, and an 8 bulb in another, what mix of the bulbs from Wave length do you recommend? This will be for veg stage if it makes any difference.

I have the agromax Pure UV on hand but they burn the plants when used too close, so I do not want to use this for the T5's that should be closer to the plants in the veg stage when they're smaller.

I appreciate all the help you have given so far.

Thanks :peace:

Edit: I went ahead and ordered some agromax bulbs to use with my pure uv in an 8 bulb T5. We shall see how it goes. Bulbs were affordable enough they're worth a shot. This will be a 4 ' 8 bulb setup. Will catch up with you once it is up and running. Now I need to get my hands on some jacks 321........

In a 4 bulb (which I would never do alone) I would do 3 blue, 1 red

I like them. I use:
2-bloom, 2-veg, 2-pure par, 1-10,000k, 1-pure UV.

It takes forever but I'm sure people have seen the pics. They are in the last two pages of my journal and all over the place.

Agromax. I think they did their homework and make a good product. $8-9 a bulb. Cheaper on their eBay store.

The UV bulb is the only exspensive one.

You can be proud. I followed your grow and thought it pretty cool.

Thank you. Its done. I left a branch on one that I had been spraying with cs.

I'm trying to decide what to run next. I think it will be a photoperiod run. I have my outdoors to.

All that is left is some lower buds that are fattening up and that will give me time for my next batch of soil to finish cooking and my seeds to sprout.

Thank you.

Some have claimed that rm3 has a cult or the ones that follow him act like its a cult.

Rm3 has never claimed t5 is the greatest. I haven't either. I know there are more efficient options but I like what I'm doing.

Its more about growing good weed. Its about people that are new to growing. People can follow what rm3 or I have done and can have good weed.

I've actually been working on a book. Nothing may come of it. If not, I still thought about making a thread as a guide.

Simple steps to follow to grow good weed.

If @RM3 is a cult figure then I'm definitely doing something wrong!

I have seen the promised land under the T5 lamps, and yea I beleeeeeeeeeve! Lol

Honestly, I don't get these guys who freak out on stuff like this. I've grown successful crops under T12 40W shoplights! It wasn't easy, but I did it.

His setup is modest, well dialed in and is designed to produce high quality as opposed to quantity. There's a legitimate niche for that.

I don't think I'm the cultist; rather, the fanatics are the ones who keep talking shit in the face of his obviously successful results.

LOL well yes people here do seem to take it to the extreme huh. And really who the fuck cares how someone grows? Well I guess some do lol. Do I think his is the only way to grow top shelf? No but I am curious as with all types and styles of growing and have tried a few things RM has suggested. I do question some of his statements but not his methods. They do seem to work for him and that's really all that matters IMO.

Those methods work pretty good; his weed has put my dick in the dirt more than once... and that's saying something.

@RM3, Hey I'm really interested in the way you grow.. had a few questions on your grow medium.
I'm already recycling my peat mix/perilite.. and this sounds like it would help out.

-Cat litter 50/50 with peat mix seems like it would be pretty heavy, does this extra weight effect anything negatively?
-Does this hold water better than normal soils? Do you water less?
-Would clumping clay/liter mess anything up?

Would this type work? Am I on the right track?

Btw, picked up some Aquagold from Martins.. can't wait to see the results of 9% sulfur.

Thanks!

I have to say, when I ran a bunch of CFL and T5 and Cheap LED on my first "real" run, I had better results than with my first 600 HPS run.
I can certainly do better with 1000W of luminous gas and diodes than I just did with the HPS, and I don't think I could run 1000W in that tent because I'm venting basically into the room. It is working fine in both cases, but I think I prefer fluoros and a mess of blurple 5W LEDs to my DigiMax 600. The elec cost difference is negligible for me, and the apparent heat was similar, or even significantly less, for whatever reason.

COBs are probably the best widely available solution for me today, but I can't justify dropping the cash on them right this second.
I just have so many perfectly useful photons right here that, until it is time to buy new bulbs, I'm happy with what I have to be happy with.
