How in the fuck do you still have the time and energy for all this forum nonsense RM?

There's no proof that crappy T5 lights with too much blue will produce any better weed than HPS. T5 is garbage tech, but by all means, please continue to post closeups of light airy buds...

I'm not trolling. I'm helping noobs make good decisions. Skip fluorescent because it was made obsolete when HPS was invented. Don't listen to the bullshit about HPS growing low quality.

HPS is complete crap and while T5s are inefficient and make fluffy buds, some of the frostiest bud I've grown was under fluorescents. Cannabis plants need UV, even if the light only puts out small amounts, better than none.

personally ive only used t5's in veg.. that was a long time ago.. i grew with hps and mh for many years and they grow great weed, now im using cdl and led,, my yields are the same w a higher gpw pluss i save on electric..
RM3 knows what he is doing and imo his t5 set up has a better spectrum than any hps/mh/cdl or led,, the multiple bulbs allows for a spectrum much closer to the sun...i dont know if his yields would be higher w hps,cdl,led,, but the quality of buds w/ t5 has got to be much better...
if u like hps,,great for u,, to each his own.. so long as u grow and enjoy doing it..whatever u like is best for you and you alone..there is no way to prove one light is better than the other,,yes intensity,par,lumens, can be measured but everyone would use the same thing if there was undeniable proof that this light out performs any other...i dont try to persuade people to change there lighting,nutrients,etc,, we like what we like, and if it makes us happy,,that is all u can ask for..grow well n be well

You say "to each his own", but the implication is that other methods are inferior to yours (or RM3s).
If you actually practiced what you preach, you wouldn't have opened your pie hole. :cuss::dunce:

No he doesn't know what he is doing. He makes up the "science" he uses to justify his hobby and tells it like he is an authority.

Here is a fact about plants and light.

They transfer their photosynthesis to the strongest wavelength available.

That is why HPS causes fastest growth. It is the strongest light regardless of the narrower spectrum.

I have been testing cmh, mh and hps lamps all year. Recently I have removed all of the full spectrum lighting and have gone back to just my original hps bulbs to see if there was really any difference.

First two plants seem as frosty and potent as before and the density and yield is back where too much mh and cmh made fluffier buds and less yield.

I was sure full spectrum had improved things noticeably. It is starting to seem much more subtle now.

I may have just improved at growing and the lights make very little difference.

As far as what anyone else wants to do. Who cares. Do what you want. But don't come on here like an authority with bullshit and try to sell it to us.
