Not that i can afford them but i see plasma lights are the same as the sun in all aspects so would assume ample UV light for weed plants also. I find very little actual grow info on them but for that price im not suprised.

Philips do a light for £1000 which is not out of my reaches, burns totally cool apparently but the draw side seem to be its only 300watts, im guessing 300watts of pure sunlight is a lot bigger yeilds than a 400watt of hps or above though. Peace

**yup.. that 300w has the full spec, instead of concentrated bands like HPS/MH :).. induction is expensive, but the parts are cheap.. i think its b/c of the current manufacturers~

Id like to own one but maybe a higher wattage, good to know they cover all spectrums and UV. Crazy prices though but like leds i dont think they ever need replacing.

If there that good you should try run one for the UV comparison. Peace

**i want to compare uv off the induction VS uvb off mercury bulbs /or even those Seti uvb diodes :)

The seti diodes look a practicle application if they make them a little more grow friendly, price wise still exspensive.

I found the right UV tubes for my grow but would never fit them in, will be upgrading to Hps soon from cfl but eventually id love a plasma.

I kind of think that one day plasma will make LEDs redundant both price wise and yeild wise though. Peace

**hoping one day plasma would be the norm... maybe not today, but someday...

T5 is pretty cheap if you use the right bulbs! Check my sig, and my thread. I also believe the spectrum is what your after!
I think I've found a good way to do it and keep costs down.

**just saw your t5 setup.. must say, pretty solid., might have to look into that more later, learning something new everyday :)

Yer im going of cfls and flourescents except for veg, looking into plasma more it has a long way to go still. I like the T5's cause they spread the light well and are quite strong for 12 inches and under. Most units are just one plug so that and a fan in a wardrobe and your growing plus i dont need any reflection or sealed grow as there strong enough as they are and you can get plants pretty close once established.

If not using MH for veg T5's are the next best thing plus i recomend mixing the spectrum of the bulbs through veg and flower. The Uv tubes are slightly different wattages for my unit but apparently i can get away with it but for veg i dont see the need unfortunatly. Peace

I just figured that Fluorescents have gotten a bad wrap over the years..
the light fixture is more efficient both in energy/heat than traditional HID and since the spectrums are spot on if you use the right bulbs and grow an even crop.. you cant loose...
you would love my thread if you use t5 and want a simple bulb replacement to yield better crops! im just using tech that has been previously overlooked.

Some say you can yeild more watt per watt with T5 than Hps but you got to grow short and more plants, shame flourescents cant come in small 400watt lights like a Hps. Peace

I did not know this thread was here, I am probably duplicating efforts.

A quick where I am to date.

My sativa strain ignored the UVB.

The third Northern Lights is in the test room.
At 1800 microwatts UVB/cm2 the hairs burned off.
At 1100mw/cm2 the hairs burned off.

At 850 micro watts per square centimeter I have a full count of hairs, with a reddish haze in the middleView attachment 1844218this picture is day 18.
For base line level I used Mt. Haleakala in Hawaii, 545mwUVB/cm2 during the end of May at 10,023' elevation, clear day. I decided to work top down and tripled it to start, see above.

Now that I know of this thread I will take a time out to read it completely before posting again, I am just really stoked that it exists at this point.
