Ive laid out the setup before multiple times, it really is in the thread if you read it... i only change out the red sun and 75.25... thats it... always use the actinics.. change out the non actinics for the red suns... and you dont really need but 2 in an 8 fixture Always here to help ... I do...

ges the super blue or blue plus.. you need lots of 410-460nm light!that the best light to stimulate growth and resin production... red lights tell the plant to shift lifecycle... but lots of blue is needed still for increased photosynthesis and respiration as plants respirate better under blue...

Ive seen those ... but i feel that 25% of the light on average comes from 550 nm and that is useless for plant growth... they make "fish" "look" good though! makes the color "pop" to the eye... I try to stay away from mixed bulbs and use single nm range bulbs to get the highest PAR for my $$$

just clipped! and hanging since yesterday..

There is no experimentation to make any assumption on that topic. Unfortunately no one but me is using this method full time... I have no interest in comparisons and discourage them in my thread.. Comparisons will start flaming.. and discourage actual functional conversation. If you feel like...

Ya the uv Lighting comapny bulbs are listed as UVL because UV will get you blacklights! The y should be good as a base... but like i said before @ least get one blue plus/super blue in the mix... actinics are optimal for growth!

t5 produces double the light t8 does not worth it...

Well seeing as im trying to get some 660nm red t5 led tubes.. i dont know why anyone hasnt thought of them yet!

http://www.amazon.com/Wave-Point-Coral-Wave-54-Watt-Output/dp/B002OJFSUC These look promising... they have a VERY far red spike... may be too much>?

Well since some of these lights are made in europe the Fiji purps can be had anywhere .. i would try to get those... im looking into T5 Led tubes.. still trying to source them... so hang tight. I cant imagine not being able to get these lights.. there @ any Aquarium store.. if not they will...

Thanks everyone, and remember i didnt coddle this plant @ all. in fact I was downright an absent parent on this one. she got bare minimum nutes and watered when I could. Im sure if i dialed it in i could get imressive results... These were freebie strains. I know nothing of them or how they...

Everyone loves updates.. this is my small plant sharks breath... im thinking maybe an "O"

I did warn you about the mixed bulbs... thats why i use the actinics... see your aqua suns have only 1/3 blue 1/3 green and 1/3 yellow/orange...... the aqua suns are designed to "look" better to the eye so your filsh will pop! not to grow coral/plants ;) thats 2/3 of light young plants dont...

now for actual news... i will be chopping my smaller plant tonight.. shes ready.. my bigger girl im going to let go till the end of the week and start chopping her too... I am ready to go full scale and these ladies are in my way! most of my crop will go to those in actual need.. as ive said...

Still with the questions.. the bulbs are the SAME v-ho or not... second vho bulbs are designed to be overdriven...(better electrodes) thats all.. overdriving bulbs causes the electrodes inside to deteoriate even faster thus dimming over time... im sure i stated this previously.... theoretically...

No i dont need to hide his comments im going to let them be apparent so others can judge my actions for themselves.. if im being a douche someone will call me on it! if not than hes just an immature spoiled child who wants nothing more than to be handed everything cause he asked for it... last...

even if you didnt read the entire forum which is necessary to even understand the concept of what im trying to do, you could have @ the very least looked up ONE bulb listed in my signature... even if you only read the first thread on his topic it clearly states which bulbs i am using. Even if...
