Some info worth checking out. The idea of using T5's for "wavelength specific" grow ops has been around for some time. They kinda wander trying to find that correct wavelength especially in the Red spectrum. Take a look...

WHICH ONE? Link please?

Wonder what a 400w CMH with some Red Sun and Coral Wave supplement would do?

I'm not trying to promote the Dr. Earth crap, but after transplanting my ladies out of the shit soil and into this crap they have actually started growing and I am thinking my T5 arrangement is kicking ass. I have one lady in an ebb and flow as well, so that means no shitty soil to deal with...

Thats probably why. I don't get it either, I've always had great results with the soil, and now it all has gone down the pisser. The last 20 bags of it have all had issues, from bugs to PH.

I used to have GREAT success with Fox Farm Ocean Forest, up until they started the new plant out east. Now all the soil that people get in the central and eastern states is from out east and NOT northern california. Where are you from? If you say California then that is WHY you still have...

I have ALWAYS cut the Fox Farm Ocean Forest with Perlite 50/50 with great results, up to the last few months. Fox Farm quality control has gone to shit. Did you try to PH the soil? The last batch of that shit soil was at 7.8. I will NEVER purchase another Fox Farm product again.

If the Zoo Med Flora Sun spectral analysis was actually CORRECT, the bulb would be emitting WAY more RED than it actually is, and it is not. I would say the chart is indeed, way wrong. It does have a slight pink, but no where near RED. For now, I am only trying to find the perfect "Veg"...

What sort of problems did you have with the Dr. Earth soil? Also, there are a few different kinds of Dr. Earth soil so which one were you using? I am curious because I just swapped all the Fox Farm Ocean Forest shit out for the Dr. Earth because of HUGE PROBLEMS with the Fox Farm shit. I will...

I will most definitely post a photo of the bulbs running side by side when I receive them. I just placed the order today, so it will be however long it takes to receive the T5's from Germany. Until then, keep running the Red Suns and Super Actinics for sure. It seems like there has to be...

My plants have really responded well to the new Red Suns. I am now beginning to think that the Red side of the spectrum is pretty damn important throughout the entire plant's life. The problem with florescent lighting IS getting the right phosphors for Red. The technology of florescent...

I am running a couple Flora Suns, but they put out a lot of unusable light. The whole point of this thread was to try and find bulbs that only put out the usable wavelengths (or closest to that). The Flora Sun puts out a warm white color. I just purchased a few different ones to compare. ATI...

The Plant Grow was the first bulb I was thinking of getting before seeing the "color spectrum" that was posted as the Fiji Purple. I switched because I thought it was the real spectrum chart. Now that I have had a chance to see it first hand, I realize that it is way on the blue side of the...

I HIGHLY doubt any aquarium bulb on the market has the capability to damage a plant unless it is actually touching the leaves. 1900 PPM?????? that is REALLY high. I only use 950 ppm at the most for hydro. I know it's a bit different but still seems high. Anyway, back to the drawing board!

Well, I just got some Fiji Purple tubes in yesterday and tried them out. They are by no means very purple at all! They are mostly BLUE. I would compare them to an Actinic/Blue mixture. If there is any red in them at all I would be surprised. And if there is, then 660nm must be out of the...

Contacted KZ to try to get the Fiji Purple spectrum today. They responded saying their bulbs are the best for coral and do not share the spectrum outside the company. LOL I don't understand why someone would keep that a secret, sure seems weird. Anyway, couldn't even get one of the peak nm...

I see that now. Thank you for clearing that up. I am wondering if the Actinic bulbs help with vegging or are they just for the last 2 weeks of flower to help resin production. I had a couple actinics in my fixture, but I just took them out because I was concerned about the UVA AND UVB...

I also would like to add that in this thread it was mentioned a few times that the Wavepoint Coral Wave bulb should NOT be used during veg because of the risk of triggering flowering due to the IR output. If your plants are flowering during the vegetative period, I would tend to think that you...

pr0fesseur: In your signature you have a Fiji Purple listed as 630 & 440nm wavelengths and the Pro Color for the 660nm. The Fiji Purple already has the 660nm as one of its main peaks. Not sure if you caught that, but it seems like since the Pro Color has been d/c'd you could get by...

Wow, unreal, seems like if you are going to have a successful internet business you would keep an updated inventory. Hmm, anyway, Aquacave, DT aquarium, Marinedepot(updated inventory), BulkReefSupply, PremiumAquatics, Foster and Smith, AquaticsElite. That should be enough to find a few...
