Heh, no comment eh? You like to go around telling people they are wrong and then not correcting yourself? Seems to me everyone is doing the actual testing of these bulbs for you. I've spent over $800 on T5 bulbs and have found the only real results to be with the ProColors or PINK plant bulbs. If you have results to show, why don't you show them? I haven't seen any photos from you and yet you are the one that started this thread. Is this just some idea that you had that you wanted others to test for you? I'm not getting it so far. People, stick with HPS and MH. Plants don't like low intensity lights, save your money!
Ill get to you in a minute..
Second ya im a human being.. I have made mistakes and am willing to admit when im wrong or just move on from an argument when im obviously wrong, serves no one any good to argue IN the forum. I obviously have a lot riding on this thread and have always defended my project with my everlasting breath, but wouldent you defend something you believed in and work hard @, do you know no pride? I take my arguments to PM unless someone has really come off as either an idiot or a bully, and you my friend are leaning to the latter. I have used fact and method to show yourself and others the "path" i cannot hold your hand or show you EVERY thing that is perfect and wrap it with a bow... Some things in life you must do yourself.
You have a total of 55 posts here @ RIU.
you say you have spent 800$ on bulbs good for you hope you feel happy about that.
In your 55 posts it is inconceivable that you could have posted clean documented Grow/Results comparable to ANYONE on this forum let alone MY thread. You have absolutely 0 to show for your work product, and storm in here like you own MY thread.
So you've been in my thread badmouthing bullying and claiming things that i and others say here are wrong when CLEARLY we as a collective have experience and knowledge in this subject that you cannot possible know.
So what i want to know is what makes YOU the expert here?
Youve tested ALL the bulbs and Combinations? really? Show your results? where are all your grows and strain comparisons? where are your pictures of growth throughout the lifecycle of the plant?
My plants were 3' tall and beautiful and i have pictures of them posted in THIS forum. Matter of fact i have posted well over 200 of my own photos throughout RIU. I have documented and given factual analysis and documented proof of my method/technique and the science to back me up. i use as many factual studies and "try" to take the word of people who have been doing something for a large majority of their own lives.. If someone invests a major portion of their life to something they SHOULD be pretty good at it. I have also posted REAL journal published University studies that back my own method.
I am sorry you are having bad results... maybe its because you chose to use the 2' lights, maybe the wrong combination? maybe the wrong strain.....
Seems to me EVERYONE else is having better results than you? and you have once to say you have copied MY method. I have laid out my decision process and the reasons imade my decisions... thats right MY decisions, you are free to make your own and my word is not law around here. Just a pretty good damn suggestion.
And while you think you can throw crap assumptions and BS "testing" around like a flag of honor shows your immaturity here.
I have and never will claim that this method will give you ANY YIELD @ ALL... i can almost guarantee in writing, if done right and with MY method and your knowhow you WILL get BETTER product.
Start with a turd.....you ain't getting shit.
And last for your viewing pleasure i have a REAL job where iI travel and do things with my life besides livinng in my moms basement with a bong clutched tightly between my hands watching reruns of cartoons and smelling like B.O and bongwater.
I took $ from my pocket and time out of my life with no greater intent than to fail @ something, miserably.(also written/posted here Frequently)
and for 432W of pure purple enjoyment i grew a crop that not only surpassed my wildest expectations, i had fun learned a few things and enlightened others on a new technique they probably never would have tried with Tech thats efficient relatively cheap and easily affordable to anyone. If you cant see past your on inability to make this method for you well we thank you for your contribution, but maybe you should take your HID and go play with the others.
