I'll agree that it's way better to use actual cannabis instead of synthetic cannabinoids if you can. I'm however, looking for a job. I use am2233 and in no way do I claim it's safe, but it is an option for me.
Well then that explains your initial comment really, haha. Be careful with the stuff man, it's just plain not very safe at all in my book... heard too many bad stories... convulsions, cardiac arrest, etc... I don't know what am2233 is specifically but I stay away from the whole pile now...

It's true that some of these research chemicals labeled "Bath Salts" are amphetamine anologs, but some are much different. For example the phenethylamines such as the 2c chemicals are powerful hallucinogens that rival the effects of shrooms and Lsd. 2c-e, is incredible! ...but not necessarily safe.
I had some intense 2C-I trips several years back when they first hit the scene and were legal for sale as a research chem... the stuff is no joke that's for sure... very powerful.. but it didn't make me feel well at all... kind of scary. Tripping is a very "mortally aware" experience and I feel a lot safer when I eat shrooms, which have a documented history of being relatively benign on the body.

I don't get that in legal states, a guy that has a scrip for weed can't pass a drug test. Yet the guy that goes to the pill farm doc. for his norco's gets to pass. How does this even make sense? Felt like ranting because Wal Mart won't hire me because I use weed to manage my pain and sleep issues, instead of much more addictive and dangerous opiates, sleeping pills, and muscle relaxers. It's a sad day when doing the right thing and what's legal don't line up...

Well I will steer clear of that shit.
Mandrex where, pretty good. You could eat them or smoke them. They where a downer, but didn't last long, taste lawful when you smoke them. I maybe spelling it wrong. they only give you a buzz for about 30 minuets. We called them mandes, or beens, I loved those things. You could get a lot of pussy.

Say Pet how is the Roots organic soil working out???

Shrooms are nothing to joke about, I've had some overly intense not believing I was real trips on shrooms. As far as toxicity is concerned, they're safe.

To get back to the subject...

I'm making progress on building my stacked t5 cabinet system. I'm going to use the standard 6500k bulbs for veg...I know I'll get chewed out for that :p

For flower I was thinking FloraSuns and CoralWaves in this config:
FS-FS-CW-FS-FS-CW-FS-FS. Substitute FloraSuns for whatever equivalent ...Ultra Growth wave, Gro-Lux...ect.

I think you got it backwards, all these bulbs seem blue dominant from what I'm seeing. Red dominant for flower, blue dominant for veg.

I'd recommend a couple of these, but they're pricey and people have had problems with them in the past. The UVL RedSun. View attachment 2108489

I've considered redsuns, but they do nothing for 660nm and eveybody is having problems with them. Each of the bulbs I posted hit 660nm, except for the coral wave which has the IR spike.

But proportionately, the two bulbs you listed to use in your setup are both blue dominant. Seems awesome for supplementary light, but personally I'd try to make it more red heavy. It seems you'd be predominantly blue light with just those bulbs (Just based on the relative spikes at least.). As for the redsun problems, I think it stems from people fiddling with their bulbs before letting them cool properly. I haven't had problems with mine, they all fired up, and no endcap issues.
