Sorry, I did not understand your question. HO is a huge improvement over regular T5 lighting (must have HO fixture)- due to bigger ballast. I am using an 8 bulb 4ft HO T5, it puts out 432 watts. I use a combination of bulbs from the aquarium side for flowering. No need for hps here!

JBC T5 bloom bulbs, like Zoomed FloraSuns + a Repti-bulb uvb, would be a excellent alternative, plus you already have the fixture

Not sure who your question os intended for. I use Quantum, but their are several good one. One is located in Sanford FL. google T5 fixtures

Aha my bad. I confused JBC420 with you

HO fixtures and VHO bulbs crank out 54 watts per bulb, almost double what you are giving them now. If you had an HO set up you would not need hps

My bad. I thought your poll and interest was in HIGH pressure aero. My recommendation is to pass on LOW pressure. It overwets the roots. You would be much better off doing a Flood and Drain set up

Still deluding yourself regarding a "completely rational and reasonable request..." when all you have to do is learn how to use google, and that's not my job either. The reviewer's comment 'SHOULD' put an end to your silliness. You remind me a 6 year old who knows how to open the fridge, and...

My Blacks and Reds are really the same, but your Poll suggests they are different. Anyway, the mist heads are not 'as' important as proper placement inside the pod (pod must provide ~ 1.5 cft per plant) + pump psi + cycle time

I am interested to start a Journal, but under Journal it says New Thread. I do not want to start a thread as there is no control over idiots, spammers, etc..

No they are not. Most horticulture bulbs are ~ 2900 & 6500. Beyond that are HO (high output) which is roughly double the intensity but similar spectrums. Next there is a whole different level of HO T5s which are used to grow coral and aquatic plants. The PAR LED craze has woken up T5 light...

I posted a new thread today linking to Maximum Yield article. Can you guess what it discusses (with references)? It's one of many. The information is, and has been available for years. That people like hydroherb haven't tripped over any of them is amazing

It's impossible to have a meaningful discussion with someone who would rather write hundreds of words instead of entering a few in google search. Even LED mfgs (GSL, a 420 sponsor, among them) who have brought up the importance of green, but you're probably too lazy to click on the link and read...

Re: PAR T5 Veg/Clone Panel | 250w HPS Depending on whose 6500s they grow fine by themselves. Alternate 6500 with the blues so spectrum is not concentrated.

I have done a journal here. The following photos are from my first T5 grow using Quantum bulbs. The Grow bulbs are quite good, but aquarium bulbs let the user tailor the spectrums. Alas, all but the middle plant became males and I pulled them. I had heat stress issues inside the HPA pod. I now...

ledwholesalers is selling UFO 90 all 660 ($135) should be awesome for flowering
