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 thread was called LED WITHOUT LED's, and the point was to prove a concept, that the spectrums could be created without LED.
My personal opinion, I dont like LED's for growing. They're an incredible technology, I personally own a 9diode spotlight that can outshine any cars high beams and put a perfect circle spot on a wall almost a quarter mile away. But for growing, unless you got fat pockets (I dont), most people cant afford a quality high power fixture like Phaeton has (how much $ are those per fixture again?) T5's are expensive as hell, but do-able on a budget, unless you wanna get your pants pulled down with a chinese UFO off ebay, I prefer T5's. Thats all my opinion tho, Im sure I could be proven wrong. But Im fully invested in T5's here and love coming here to try to perfect my game with everyones help (for awhile there I was getting good info every single day, alot from blueb, thanks again and again and again)

Im sure when Prof gets tired of his thread he may do that, however its been evolving since long before I ever got here, and Ive followed through quite a few twists and turns since I stumbled upon this highly informative/educatoinal/amusing thread Ive come to kinda call home. Not trying to put anyone down, just trying to keep the thread on track in Prof's vacation absense. I flowered using HPS, but I kept my input here restricted to T5 related convo and my experiences using them for Veg and to supplement Flowering.It would be a good thing to conclude this thread at some point...
