Me too man, still waiting for my replacements...since Dec12!!!! Back ordered everywhere! Theyre so unique tho. I like the line up you posted, i'd replace the 75.25 with the 454 tho (75.25s have lots of green that is already covered in the flora suns) otherwise it sounds pretty good :)

Red suns, then the assortment of grow bulbs (aqua medic plant grow, giessemann aqua flora, flora sun, aquatic life roseate, freshwater pink etc) which are all triband bulbs and emit blue/green also. without redsuns, it will be almost impossible NOT to be blue heavy.

Prob 2 454s and watch the results, as long as you have enough PAR red in there otherwise. I think the fijis are like a 6500k that is heavy in the 610, they may be better than a generic grow bulb but not by much. The 454s won't be wasting energy on the 554 and 610 spikes

Oh btw, these lights would qualify as a pet product right? For use w fish/reptiles etc. In the US there are no "truth in advertising" laws like for pet or garden products. As far as ingredients in your nutes, and light from your bulbs (ie SPDs) mfgs can say anything they want, can legally lie...

Imho, I have no desires for the Fijis anymore, BlueB got the SPD made... big spike at 610nm and not much more, garbage tri-band bulb, I would go with a pure 420-460 and use other bulbs with proven SPDs to fill in the reds.

It has very poor spectrum for flowering, but has such an intense output that the plants can scavenge enough usable light to thrive, but its less than ideal. Body builders are big and appear to be very healthy, but are known for having chronic health issues and suffering later in life from from...

Radiion 8 bulbs are 18"w... both combos would work, for flower you'll need more overall light output (8bulbs) to get a decent yield, but the spectrums would work. The plantgrowths are about twice as expensive as florasuns ($9 at Aquariumguys.com) For veg I would use 2 florasuns on the...

400+400w= 800wHID vs 432w of T5?

None of those bulbs have any photosynthetically usable red light, and they all have far too much wasted green/yellow/orange light to be able to get the full capability out of your T5's, look into some BlueActinic/RedSun/FloraSun/PlantGrow bulbs. Not saying its impossible to use the generic...

Got these this time, and the graphs previously, but not all of the pics before

I consider blue a dime a dozen (its hard to find a bulb that doesn't have blue... red suns and???) so I go with the cheapest... Wavepoint bulbs at 10$ are close to as cheap as they come. And I haven't seen any of the pics you've posted yet. Use the uploader to browse and select pics to insert...

I consider the CWs a blue/actinic with an infrared bonus, I use them to supplement blues in flower and enjoy the IRs role in triggering the flowering response. They have very little UV (nothing below 400nm). I use them exclusively in flower, the IR would not be utilized in veg so I would use a...

I have no idea lol, she keeps poppin out new flower clusters and is showing fresh white/pinkish pistils, Ive got opaque/milky trichomes but I dont see any amber trichomes yet. I think Im gonna put her in pure ph'd bottled water w/ molasses for about 10 more days, then trim the biggest fan leaves...

Nope, inside all the time, 15hrs/day under those lights. I dug it up from outside where it had fallen over and was struggling, it had smooth spines with no spikeletts. Under the t8's its plumped up and developed the healthy spikes on the spines/branches, and is showing new growth also. I have...

I have CoralLife colormax T8's for my houseplants... one Colormax and one Actinic... Ive definately noticed a good response :) They're a pink bulb, a little more pink than the AquaMedic PlantGrow I just got. sorry if I already posted these here

Yup, and Roseate's are like $13ea. there :)

And now a nice pic for everyone!! from today

MTB, pics for you here, you smokes, yes

So I am very poor with money management, I cant say no. I already have 4 UVL Red Suns and a replacement PlantGrow tube on the way., so I go and order 4 ZooMed FloraSun's and 2 AquaticLife 650nm Roseate's. All are very red heavy full spectrum bulbs that will work in flowering. I am REALLLY...

ok so I need to stop buying bulbs, I didnt realize how cheap the flora suns are, so I ordered 4 FloraSun's and 2 AquaticLife Roseate's...
