Well you have to wrap the bulbs vary well and box them so as to make it to your door unbroken. That alone is a a lot of money.

Hey, what do you folks think of this? It's the Aqua Medic Planta bulb. Have only found them on amazon so far. Looks promising in my opinion. Seems like it has that 660 spike we have been seeking.

Id get a few of those myself for a confirmed SPD and replace my fijis with those. I also had a few 20" T5 single lamp fixtures laying around, Im putting the order in tomorrow for 2 of these to be set on 6 hour timers, right in the middle of my photo-period. A little bit of UV-B ought to kick start trichome production. I didnt notice any last night, but they are definitely starting to stink.

My replacement T5s arrived about a week ago, from Jeff at UVL, and are going strong. I think they got the problem fixed.
If they go another week I will start bragging about there performance.

That bulb has already been covered in this thread. They don't make the planta anymore. They replaced it with plant. Which has a weak.spectrum. Right now zoo med flora suns the only good 660 bulbs in the U.S.

I received an email today from Jeff at UVL. No bulbs available. He says they are in the infant stages of testing. The 660 bulbs will hit the market in June.

That would make alot of sense. Thanks for the heads up Hy. Tried to rep you but i have to spread the love first. Heh I actually can no longer rep any of the regular posters in this thread. I am going to have to branch out and pay attention to more non t5 folks so I can give you guys the rep you deserve in here.

I have a grow going but no active journal. I didnt have my journal method organized until recently and Ill be using it when I start up my next run after I move to an actual house instead of an apt/condo. Till then Ill be trolling and posting weekly pics, contributing to an already awesome thread. T5 growing for life :)
