    Typically, most grow bulbs provide ample blue in the 450-550 range. 1/6-8 SA is fine during flower. Also, to max bud size keep 1-2 2700s (I use UVL AquaSuns + quantum Flower) add 1 ZooMed FloraSun +2-3 Red Lifes + one 660

    check out hellolights.com , reefgeek.com, and aquarium specialty-- or just do a google search for something like "discount aquarium HO T5"
    there's also aquariumguys.com and marine depot and you can always check petsmart/petco in the fish section

    these things look great....you think better quality than quantum badboy...my thoughts are the major differences look like venting and size (fg is about a pound lighter and a little bit longer but without the venting--which they make the point that the enclosed back means no debris collection but BB makes the point that they fold up easily and vent better ...i assume reflection factor is about the same, but the 4x4 badboy would seem to have better footprint.

    anythoughts anybody? anybody compare the two?--just trying to decide because that coupon from psuagro (THANKS MAN!) makes the fg a super tempting audible to call in the 4th qtr.

    I can't really compare them for you as I own a hydrofarm designer 2ft 8bulb panel.......But i do believe both bb and fluorogrow premiums run racehorse ballasts, but the quality will be better than BB IMO, according to some growers on here the BB tend to be flimsy, and always buy to smaller panels instead of one large one as stated numerous times in this thread......They are coming out with a 2 ft wide 4 bulb panel soon (according to Dennis/marketing) due to the large requests for it in their web poll, so maybe wait for that..........good luck

    Question: How much difference do these lights really make? I grew under cool blues from Home Depot and harvested 5.5oz off a 4' 8 bulb set up, this was my first run and first grow in over 10 years so not sure if that's good or bad. I now have 5 blues and 3 reds (i got at a hydroponic store), but am using it only for veg as I got a 400w hps now.
