Oh, well maybe I'm looking at the wrong one. I was guessing this http://www.hydrofarm.com/product.php?itemid=10653 was the one you were using just by looking at your pictures. It's 6400k.

That's weird , I got both of mine at the local hydro shop with 6500k

Just double checked and they are 6500k

Okay, cool. I'll check my local hydro shop then. Sorry for the confusion!

I was looking at the 4' because my tent is 48" wide so I may be able to squeeze the 4' in. Unfortunately even though the tent was advertised at 24" depth it's more like 20" between the metal supports. I really like that light, though. And you've done some amazing things with it. Really.

Also, not that it really matters.. but I'm a girl.

so I just measured my box and light, i kept the Hydrofarm 2' 4 bulb box measured at 15" which is what Hydrofarm states as specs from their site, but when i measured the light it was only 13.5" so you cannot go by what Hydrofarm states on their sites, I hope that helps, with that being said I would go ahead and get the 4' 6 bulb it should fit just snug.

And sorry about that there is very few females on here, but I honestly think its super sexy!

If you are considering a 4ft, my recommendation is to get 2 @ 2ft. This allows room between to drop an IR bulb on a separate timer. I am told running it for ~ 20 minutes after the main fixture is off will significantly increase bud/trich production. Also it is easier to adjust height as opposed to tilting the fixture

IR bulb eh?

My hydrofarm designer 2ft 8bulb came with these................strange.........guess they ran two sets on these models

mine came with agromax bulbs not agrobrite and the bulbs are not Hydrofarm Brand, PS I live by a Hydrofarm Distributer Wharehouse and that is where the hydroshop is located by

Thanks for the advice.

Anyway, I stopped by the hydro shop yesterday and all I'm seeing are setups with 6400k. I'm gonna do a little more internet searching.

TBH........their isn't really much difference in a 6400k/6500k , just buy local in case of failure or broken bulbs from an internet shop........with flouros I try to get them locally first............just my 2c..........good luck

Thank you both for the information! I'll buy local and check out those Actinic and Florosun bulbs while I'm there.

Very nice, i like what i see

6400s are fine, but you really want to replace some of them with specialty aquarium bulbs

1. Super Actinic (~420nms)
2. Zoomed Florosuns- hell you should be able to do a full grow under these alone

you do have to add these bulbs slowly as it will disturb the plant, ive noticed from different trys, that seedlings will wilt and or twist while putting them under intense light like these aquarium bulbs

Thai Haze x Skunk Report

Grade = A-
Smokes really smooth and has a good taste. The smell isn't really pungent but has a normal Haze smell. The nugs are actually denser than I was expecting for this strain being a Sativa F1 Hybrid. This is good rolling bud and burns slow. For any beginners, this strain would be a good quality/quantity ratio, the strain did awesome under fluorescent lighting. The only reason it got an A- is because of the long flowering time, just like most Sativas.
