I'm sorry. It seems to be 3 out of 20. I don't know what you are defending either. But you have by far the most childish post of the night

And there have been some doozies.
Listen friend. I posted my experience and you criticized it for lacking proof while I was just providing info on what I witnessed. Feel free to doubt it, but voice it and you are calling me a liar. I then read your other posts and most sounded like you demanding people to do your legwork. Sorry, noone is required to drop everything and source things for you.

You wrote HAS made a difference in your garden and well before your post I asked for real proof. Our word is not proof. I have posted some info to get a real discussion started and you took a pretty standard comment in a debate and have been cursing me out for it. I was not challenging. You defended rm3 as your proof only. I would love to know proof. I will set up t5 or led in a new room.

I never meant to offend you man.

First, everyone is not required to do your legwork for you. Second, I was just relating my own experience. After going MH all the way for a year I switched to HPS for flower and the trich production was noticeably abysmal in comparison albeit my yield increased. Same strains, same methods. You don't have to believe me but I have a tendency to believe my own eyes. I now have settled into using MH for veg and the first and last 2 weeks of flower. I use HPS augmented with blue t5s for the rest of flower. Last grow I achieved just under 21 zips dry from 6 very sticky plants. May add the Agromax UV bulb soon though.

Other than that :finger:, ;).
UV was the key for me. If you run MH "bare bulb", your plants are getting UV.

See I want to agree and I use them but I am needing actual proof why. The Hortilux doesn't even have the 3 to 1 ratio but I can't complain about my garden anymore. But it isn't different light that grew all the new trichs I have now.
My only proof is experience. I've run three different brands in my tent, and the hortilux is producing more & better bud.
Whether or not you see a difference probably depends on overall brightness in your grow area. My setup is minimal, so small changes can cause noticeable results.

Well I can have the meds tested. But we stay out of the way here for now

Although experience like you just shared and research is why I paid for Hortilux 3 years in a row now.

Same here. Ive used arcadia, hortilux and agromax. But my space is very bright. The plants are getting something useful from the hortilux that the others arent providing.

This run i used the hortilux for most of the flowering and im using the agromax for the final weeks with less exposure. If worthwhile ill give an update.

You know hortilux makes t5 bulbs but they are pricey.

Hid can lose up to 50% of output and actually fairly quick.

T5 will only lose about 10% and that's over the whole life of the bulb.

The actual proof you are looking for may or may not be there.

You just have to accept that some of us will go against what the mainstream is doing. You also have to put a little trust in our conclusions.

Its not like we randomly ended up here.

Your arrogant, entitled personae is offensive. Yeah, unfortunately I did not have the Martha Stewart film crew following me around as I witnessed what I witnessed. Who was following you and Rosenthal's editor's brother's pool guy around when you provided him pictures?

my t5 bulbs went too long. 14 months. The plants showed slow growth and deficiencies.

So I will keep t5 to a year. They were a mix of GE and spectralux.

The super HPS bulbs from hortilux show some dimming and plant slowing at 10 months. And more lumen loss. They recomend 9 months for excellerated growing so about right on. All 3 years. But I think ceramic mh will replace my t5 lamps in all applications.

Ok. You have done your best to pick me apart. I go sleep now. Nice to meet you brave Dave. You have me all wrong and you are the only one doing this. What do you want? Me to apologize to you for cursing me out on a discussion forum. I only mentioned my accomplishments because they check out. Why is that starting a fight?
thanks for the good vibes on a marijuana forum.

And just to clarify. I never said I knew mr Rosenthal. The breeder of the strains I prefer does. Since 1993 when Ed have him some new medical clones in California. All I did was impress the breeder with pictures of my plants. He posts and refers them. I send them for helpful advise.
