Quantum T5 Badboy
Watts per lumen is better but more lumens is more lumens, in the long run you should come out ahead..if you can get that puppy within 4 inches I would assume its got to be close to a 600hps, maybe a tad more? I know nothing about the bulbs spectrum other than i see they have flower and veg bulbs... keep us posted for sure and good luck with your grow!
and no problem Setting, hope all is going well with your side by side..
take everything you hear with a grain of salt. I have both the badboy and the solar flare vho and after talking to my supplier who sells both he talked me out of getting another vho because he said the bulbs and ballast were really degrading fast and he was getting a lot of negative feedback. So he wanted me to get another badboy. Considering that he makes more money selling a solar flare and vho bulbs I'm leaning towards the badboy. Here is the other big issue with the solar flare 12 bulb unit. It is too large for UPS so you have to have it shipped common carrier. which triples the shipping cost, it was 129 to ship 300 miles to me, fortunately the dealer ate the difference. but said he couldn't do that anymore. The sixteen bulb badboy unit he said he wouldn't carry because the strain on the ballast was too much.

In the third week of bloom we switched all bulbs to 3000k-2900k with the exception of keeping 1 6500k bulb at both ends of the light. I have a twelve bulb lamp so it looks like this. If 6500k= 6 and 2900k=2, this is it 622222222226 the plants sit right under the 2900k bulbs. Hope that makes sense. also you can see this in some of the photos. Hope that helps.

Nice question, We vegged for about 2 months, then switched to 12/12. Spectrum is important, for veg we used 6500k bulbs on a 16/8 time zone, then for the first week of flowering we used a 50/50 mix of both 6500K and 3000K bulbs. In the second week of flowering we went to a full compliment of 3000K bulbs, with only 2 6500k bulbs placed at each end of the light. I recently explained to vaporeyes how my light looks at the moment. Good luck and good day to you.

Socal I think the difference is signifigant between the two. Many have different opinions. The most common seams to be a 6500k bulb for veg and 2900-3000k bulb for flowering. Heres a graph I found off wikepedia to show a little differnece in spectrum. Hope this helps in your decision. Good luck.
