Undercover do you have any info on when they estimate to have that bulb done for shipping or is it untellable and we just have to wait to findout
 
No clue, I heard it wasn't to be sold in the US at first, but I did look up patent records and they have a US patent on the design (phosphor blend) and have the name trademarked soooooo...
 
I been going over some charts and I think I heed to add some
Rosetta and colormax bulbs to my flower panel to mix there red with the blue of the outher bulbs

Are these good bulbs to use for the red spectrum I know there not big spikes around 660 but they are mainly around 650 and to me that's close enough
What do you guys think
 
I like em, I have roseates, I also have colormax's for my houseplants:) the chart for the roseate shows how although the spike isn't as high as others in the graph, it has the largest percentage of its output in the red range. The spike is wide which offsets its shortness if that makes sense.


Again, florasuns are super cheap but still good quality/good spectrum :)
 
Yes it makes sence I think it is a lil better to have a wide spike rather than a small talk spike

But for flower I was thinking
4x florasun
3x Coralwave
3x colormax
2x roseate

I'm thinking this would be a good combo of spectrums
Would you recommend any more or less of one bulb to anouther or some outher good bulbs to throw in in place of outhers

I really like that, and shouldnt be too hard to find (except maybe the colormax, i havent looked for them much, I found them in T8 at petco tho) I'd put in an order for RedSuns so you have 2 whenever they're available. I'd slide them in there too if possible, otherwise it sounds like a strong red spectrum even without them. The coral Waves will give some quality blue to the mix since the others arent very strong in blue. The IR in the CW's will help trigger flowering and Ive also heard that it aids in the reception of the 660ish waves, like the IR complements the Red and gives is a boost :) sounds good tho!

notice how different the FloraSun (top left) ColorMax and Roseate (bottom right) graphs are??? .... They arent! they're very very similar, and have very similar hues, but I like blending different tubes to hopefully fill in a more complete spectrum (I'd like to hope they arent all using the exact same chinese phosphor blend in their tubes)

I know one of the reasons that true red is so rare in fluoros, Magnesium Arsenate... very very expensive compared to other rare earth phosphors used in the blends, China is one of the few places where it is mined :( might as well get ready to bow to your imperial overlords now
 
Your very welcome bluntcuts... check post #272 ... lots more SPD's and graphs to compare there too.

I just save every SPD I come across now for reference
 
Yes I sat and just stared at the charts for a wile then I went on hunt for the bulbs
I have found all of the bulbs I'm going to be useing they are in stock I found the color max at petmountain

It is so hard to research take care of a baby and take care of plants all in the same day it wares you out after a wile and I sliped and over waterd my plants wouldn't be bad tho only a lil bit of water came out the bottom of the bags

I'm excited to see what my autos pop out I'm just useing the commercial bloom/grow bulbs but after one day of flowering (when buds started to form kinda hard to say exactly when it started being a auto) the la diva has lil baby nugs all over her like as big as my pinky is round and about as tall as my pinky nail
 
Ya I just went back and looked at alot of the charts. Helped alot. Anyways, Going to order 2 bulbs tomorrow. Should I get the FloraSuns 1st or 1 Bluewave / 1 Reefwave in my 4 bulb fixture.

Fixture will be 2 FloraSuns / 1 ReefWave / 1 Bluewave just trying to decide which ones to get 1st. I'm thinking the Reefwave and blue wave
 
Thats how I went, got all the Wavepoint bulbs, then added new ones from there. You'll benefit more from the blue now in veg than the red from florasuns.

I have my first auto ever going right now, its so crazy to see her her starting to flower under 20/4 light, and she smells soooo good! Its just wierd lol, like a little baby with sexy lady parts??? I dunno lol, lmfao, lol. forget I mentioned it.
 
FloraSuns are just like 6500k's except they have 630-660red instead of 610orange like practically all other grow/6500k bulbs do (except the couple we're talking about here). They're the top left graph in the last group of 4 SPD's. Same as colormax, roseates, etc... but only $8. I dunno, Im cheap and I like them cuz of the value, my roseates were about $12 and my plantgrows were $19, and they all look sameish to me. I used them to replace my 6500k's when I was able to finally get them, so Im still getting a bit of green from em and all their usefull red too. With the true red my plants dont grow so slow like they would when they're under a heavier/blue dominated spectrum, but they still get the tight nodes..


edit.
yes they are more red. They have a pinkish hue since there's still blue and green. forgot to answer your question. gotta stop smoking while online lol
