If this somehow results in my getting some time, well then I'll just go full activist. Putting a mom in jail for trying not to be a pilled-out zombie or neurotic hypervigilant meanie all the time SHOULD embarrass the powers that be.

Your mistake here is assuming that they have hearts. They "may" when they get in office, but it is soon taken out (ala Dick Cheney). These people eat their young

Why the emphasis on back-lit? I'm not sure that I understand. The light is refracted through an LCD panel(which was my initial query, not specifically about LED's, all LCD's are back-lit, whether by led or cfl array), which I'm sure diminishes it somewhat, but I'm sure that a decent sized monitor, like a 20" could produce enough light to grow a single plant. My question is if the colors would come out right. I'm going to see.

I got your lad hanging right here.

I bought 8 each Quantum G/B bulbs when I bought my light. That first crop was all males so I killed it. I then found Pr0fs thread and never tried sticking with Q bulbs. Very enlightening (NPI)

Would my sig be a good mixture for lights? I'm getting ready to start some cuts I got from the local dispense. Want to make sure.

Heh, that's what people told my grandmother when she helped found the ARC. It is no longer societally acceptable to lock your mentally/physically handicapped child(ren) in the basement and beat them in the head with 2x4s. My grandfather once spent christmas day locked up because he'd dressed up as a vietnamese peasant and feigned death on the white house lawn. It's in my blood. I won't say anything if someone insults me because I don't care. I leap into the fray to stand up for someone else's rights though. Gotta work on doing on my own behalf more often.

Looks good to me BlueB... let us know how that works out!

Sure will! I have never tried out these types of lights before so nothing like tossing all the eggs into one basket! I may get some of those Ultra Sun lights for backup. Those cuts were not easy to come by.

Kelly from AS has investigated. The rep tells her Ultra Grow Waves are "Coming Soon" whatever that means

These are my options for UVL 18" t5ho: Actinic White, AquaSun, Indigo Sun, Super Actinic, and obviously 454 and red sun. What is my best option for the 4th bulb?
