    LED Without LEDs -My First T5 Grow

    I have all cheap Radiion fixtures, and had one go out in an 8 bulb and one in a 4 bulb... separate fixtures. And they're the ONLY bulbs Ive had go out. The theory is that its the glue on the end caps, which would explain why the ones that work, work well...and the ones that dont, dont.

    oTm... Im running 2 coral waves in flowering right now (one on each side) and have had no problems, Ive had a few large fan leaves press right agains them and they only got a white line across the leaf where it touched, only bleached the pigments.. eventually as the leaf grew the bleached strip...

    I also have 4 more UVL Red Sun T5 tubes on the way. Aquarium specialty sent 2 Fiji Purples to replace my dud red suns (2of4 dud within a week)... but both Fiji's were broken in half when they arrived. AS was all out of anything good, so I got a refund and bought another 4 from Heliolights.com...

    Nice, thanks guys, right now I only have the one flowering indica, but have all my seedlings coming along nicely. I will be moving the 6 mexican sativa's into their 6pot bubbler and into flower either today or tomorrow. I also plan to chop up the hermied sativa that I stuck in my garage. Its...

    Honestly for the value, I would get a $150 Radiion 8 bulb T5 (ebay/growzebo), then you dont have to worry about elaborate ventilation systems to deal with the heat from HID. You can slowly upgrade the bulbs as you go, and the bulbs that come with will do fine. will fit in any 4x2' area. would be...

    Just put the link in my SIG :) just had my 3 beans pop also, making 4 total plus 6 mexican sativa's that will be 12/12 from seed. And yeah if you're not pushing 5k watts or buying "doggies nuts" then no one really cares for long. Whatever, im documenting my grow for myself so I dont forget...

    LED Without LEDs -My First T5 Grow

    ok they just looked like 6500k's in the pic. If you're still in veg I would use a blend of both 6500's and 2700's. of the two SPD's the top looks better, too much green/too little red on the bottom one. my 2c

    LED Without LEDs -My First T5 Grow

    Your CFL's already have almost the same range of blue, but their red peaks at about 610nm, you'd be alot better to try to find a red heavy tri-band bulb, like a colormax, florasun, or aquaflora. Your cfl's have a good dose of blue within them and naturally have a decent spectrum, blue/gree/red...

    Good lookin man, we could almost be twins lol. I'm running a 400w Hps/mh w t5 supplemental. Got the lucky 7 also and just sprouted a Hobbit AutoFem, G13 blueberry Gum, and a fruity chronic juice, to go along with a mystery kind bud seed I already had going which I think may actually be a blue...

    The four red suns I bought, where two went out immediately... AS re-shipped me 2 Fiji Purples to replace them since they were all out of Red Suns... both Fiji's arrived broken in half! And they have no more Fiji's till Feb. I asked about Giessemann Aqua Flora's and Kelly said she wants to help...

    LED Without LEDs -My First T5 Grow

    That is very true and Ive wondered about that myself... I guess I kinda figure they'll all have a given light output given their 54w usage, and I just compare the width/height/location of the peaks from their SPD and compare them to the location/height of the spikes in the SPD's of other bulbs...

    LED Without LEDs -My First T5 Grow

    I was trippin at first, thinking "where did the IR go from the Coral wave?!?" Im thinking the Coral Wave SPD is actually the Reef Wave. My opinion of the Wavepoints (I have all but the 6500k and 12000k)... they're better than the free bulbs that came with my fixture. I would opt for a red wave...

    lol I am a very brave boy, who was calling those who thought you COULD grow with party bulbs the idiots. chill old man. I respect your experience with HID's, but the point of the thread (had you read a few pages) was to test the theory and prove that you could indeed grow using PAR specific...

    LED Without LEDs -My First T5 Grow

    someone needs to do a little research before posting... Its true that the colored cfl's that are $2 wont work for growing = Party bulbs dont grow and grow bulbs dont party... the colors you see from OUR "colored" bulbs are created the exact same way that your white or orange grow/bloom bulbs...

    You'll be fine as long as you have a decent reflector that has a wide enough throw to cover both the tops, you could prob keep it about 12" above the tops, which might be a little close to give good coverage for two, but if you lift it higher for better spread, you'll lose some of the light's...

    LED Without LEDs -My First T5 Grow

    umm I dont even keep my HPS at that distance. Get yer T5's down to 2inches above the highest top and see about yield then. You could have 2k watts of T5 but if they're too far away, the energy that his the plants is about as strong as a cfl... get em right down on your tops and you wont have to...
