It's a t5 HO floro tube. This one..http://www.arcadia-reptile.com/fluorescent-lamps/t5-d3plus-desert/
the 2' 22w version....12% UVB 30% UVA. Seems to provide a useful spectra otherwise not found in most lights.
Output is 548 u/w at 10cm. That's where a quarter of the canopy is at. Supposed to keep it at around 250 u/w on the high end I think...need to recheck that number.
In the future I have some plans to redo the flower chamber to get the lighting at proper ranges. I think that will be when it all comes together.
Looks okay, not as nice as all deep red though. Gonna start using the cree cxa but on a seperate light. One light regular leds..one light cxa. Figure just interchange them between veg room and bloom room....whichever tech is doing better gets the flower room
Blue leds are out. The looseness it brought to the tops is obvious...no thank you. I will try some 630nm before I go back to all 660nm...maybe 40w 630nm and 60w 660nm. See if I like that better than all 660nm....

Thanks for the quote pet, I remember seeing that somewhere. Just wanted to see if the extra blues would bring out any qualities I liked. Not quite. Lots of foxtails..
Back to white and red, little bit of 405 and 430. Putting a few 3up luxeon red 620nm and a few singles. Reflectors going back on for next round too. Got a 4 x 2 gorilla tent....no more height problems and a little extra wiggle room. Have a new soil mix composting, meant to be run no till. Just dig it out and replant in 5g geopots. Full of good stuff like peat, coco, vermiculite, topsoil, fresh castings, rock powders...etc. I see bud nirvana in the future...at least till I mess up my reammending...lol. First round should be fire
