Found this today: "During photosynthesis, wavelengths in the blue (440 nm) and red (660 nm) spectrum are the most important. For plant growth and development, red (660 nm) and far-red (735 nm) rays promote stem growth and flowering, while blue rays (435 nm) encourage leaf formation and dark...

Hey you guys, check this bulb out. I'm pretty sure they only come as T8's in the USA, but they are really nice. I just bought a DIY T8 2 bulb fixture and 2 of these bulbs. For both the fixture and bulbs it was around $30. Puts out a really nice purple light. Right now I have it sitting over...

CRAZY, I just bought 2 of the Coral Suns and 2 of the Flora Suns at Petco in town here today to try out. I have 2 Coral Suns, 2 Flora Suns, and 4 of the 6500K Spectralux going and it is a very bright purple hue. I think 1 Blue Plus and 1 Red Sun in place of 2 of the Spectralux would make it...

Well, I found this comment from an aquarium enthusiast on one of the reef forums, it looks like as long as you have a good reflector you don't need the internal one in the bulb: 2. Internal reflectors have an advantage where space is limited (AIO nanos for example), or when added to fixtures...

I just ordered a bunch of bulbs to use and experiment with. All of which were suggested at some point in this thread. Real anxious to try them out. Anyway, I only bought a couple different UVL bulbs and chose the ones W/O the internal reflector only because the aquarium guy said he didn't...

ohiogrown03 Ya, 1 gallon is what I water 5 gallon of soil with and it works perfectly. I usually feed every water with very diluted solution (1/4 to 1/2). I'm sure it doesn't matter though.

oh yeah, thats what I meant lol :/

Well, all I can say is your set up and photos look F'n AMAZING! I would hate to be the one that has to scrub all your equipment out and clean it when you are done though, LOL

I've heard that UV helps build resin the last couple weeks of flower. Not sure how true this would be with CFLs, but what about swapping out with some more SUPER Actinic?

Earlier in this thread someone said FOR SURE, take the coral waves out for veg, but I don't think there is anything wrong with trying them all out, who knows what will happen. It could all be strain specific you know? I have two 2x2 8 bulb T5 panels I will be doing a side by side comparison...

I've read through this whole thread and I'm totally down with all the info. Really appreciate it everyone. I've purchased about 20 new bulbs of a rainbow of colors to try this out myself. Also, I know that site I posted doesn't say anything about infra-red, but I still think it might be a...

Here people are saying that 630 nm is more for veg and 660 is more for flower. Not sure if it helps, but take a look at this page. http://youcannect.com/forums/topic/82/led

DONT DO ANYTHING! IT LOOKS GREAT! ROOTS will always come out the bottom of anything you put plants in to. DONT worry about it and let the roots do their thing whether they dry up or just sit there. Just keep a drain dish under it and keep it in flower mode. KEEP UP the good work my friend...
