Happy to do the rep thing. I was actually just trying to figure out how the rep meter worked a few minutes ago.
I think I may go ahead and set up two systems, one with a 4-bulb T5 and one with a Radiant HID switchable and see which one performs well in a small space in our environment. One...
Great info in the link, Roseman. The tutorial is a lot less intimidating at 63 pages than the 1600+ pages of the Bubbleponics thread!!! I'm already about 1/2 way through and taking notes. I appreciate your help and willingness to share the info!
Ah, again, thanks for the insight. I had been looking at the T5's... mainly because they were cooler and less expensive than the HIDs. The T5s also offer the ability to change the configuration to more blue or more red. Did you look at the T5s at all?

Thanks for the replies, all... very helpful! I took your advice and spoke with Rich at SH today. I'm sure that is the group we are going with for the hydro systems, though I will probably stick with the Flora series for nutrients just because of the better name recognition. Does anyone have an...
Did you see that SH has a Deep Water System setup as well? It seems to keep the plants a bit close together though... which is why I didn't think it would be a good choice for longterm growth. Are you using the Dual Spectrum II lights or did you go for a larger greenhouse-type lighting system...
Thanks for the reply. =) I'm in Louisiana, so far away from any of the active hydro markets. I took your advice and gave Rich a call over at Stealth. They do indeed have a wholesale program with a very reasonable ISO, so we are going to pick up the line. I would love to know what you move to or...
Hi, I just posted a thread in the hydro forum, but after reading your thread on your SH grow, I think you are the man with the answers for me! I own a garden center and want to start offering smaller hydro systems to my customers. There are literally NO hydro stores here, or even close to here...
Hi all. I own a garden center. As more communities look at decriminalizing possession, I've received a lot more calls asking general questions about hydro growing. It's pretty easy to figure out these customers (typically young males who have never shown an interest in gardening before) are...
