By the way, I found this? I thought they discontinued it?

Sorry for my ignorance, Petflora, I will assume T-8 are in my future. when you say get one NW to promote veg + 3 ww to promote flowering???? I looked online and I still couldn't pin down your meaning. Is their a particular wattage. NW alone came out with natural white and neutral white, I'm...

PetFlora, What about those of us who can't fit the 4 ft T-8's in the tent? I was originally planning on putting in a 6 lamp 2ft T-5. When it comes to the LED bulbs you are buying, how do you know which ones are for vegging and which ones are for flowering. Most of the nomenclature you used went...

Subbed, but I don't know a damn thing about LED's and a few days to figure it out until pay day LOL! I will have a grow tent of sorts and will be using seedlings, so I'll work it from there!

PetFlora, I suppose my first couple of openers here could have been construed as ignorant lol! I spent most of the night reading this thread and had some great high hopes that I still think can pan out. According to the Prof. these bulbs were the standard to go by: UVL 454 w/internal reflector...

PetFlora, your suggestion has nothing to do with LED at all does it. Is that the only way to get the aquarium lights to fit a T-5 2ft fixture? Namaste Jeff

I appreciate the input, but I know nothing about led's and I am a week away from putting everything together. I just don't have the time or money to lern and then buy all new stuff that the led will require. At least with the t-5's I have the fixtures and some bulbs, I just need to find out what...

Hey Everyone, I'm coming into this a few years late, but the proven science behind it is very convincing. My problem is I live in a 12' x16' cabin in Alaska, so I had no choice but to get a Growlabs GL80 which is 2'7" x 2'7" x 5'11". I need a fixture that uses the 2ft T-5 bulbs and could really...

Well KPMarine, you nailed it. Since its purely personal yield isn't at the top of the list, but it is important. Not enough to try and turn my tiny GL80 into a rock concert light show! I honestly don’t think I could fit many more lights in there if I did have to, it is a small footprint.

I have been reading a lot of journals, and I was under the impression that you used your 6700k bulbs for the initial vegetative growth, then switched to the 3000k during the flowering stage. What I'm seeing with some people is they are running both from the beginning? I hope that’s not the...

KP, I did some research tonight and found some very interesting facts: T5 MH Better Color 85 CRI Poor Color 70 CRI at best Instant on...

Oh I think I will start a journal starting with the build, screw ups including!

Darth, I called up those guys you left me the link for, and talked to Perry, an awesome guy who answered all my questions. I saved myself hundreds of dollars and got myself a fixture that puts out 20,000 lumens to boot without the worry of heat dissipation!!! Take a look here! With the...

I know I am in the midst of people who have done this longer than I, but it doesn't make sense to me why a grow tent measuring 2'7" x2'7" with a possible maximum of four plants couldn't flourish with two 300 watt CFL's with a radiator something like this, that can be adjusted as the plant grows...

Dragon, what if I got two hanger and associated bulbs and kept them just close enough to the plant to penetrate, then raise them as the planrt grew? Would that solve my issue?

Sunbiz, its only 5'11" tall. Yeh, being on military disability doesn't ;eave me much. I truly don't know how I'm going to afford what I need and then have any money left over for seed lol!!!

hey Dragon, I'm using the GL80 tent. THe fan you mentioned is a 6 inch, don't think it will fit well. Will need to look for something smaller. Any suggestions on CFM for a small tent like that? If you are using a grow light likr the one in your first link, how are you using the cool tube in...

Do you suggest a reputable HID? I'm on a military disability right now, left too many parts over in afghanistan and Iraq, and my monthly stipend doesn't amount to much. That's whu I had staye away from them in the first place. Thanks, Jeff

I was thinking more in the lines of these and still coming under the HID budget FELIZ 200W BLUE 6500K FELIZ 200W RED 2700K Now the Hanger: SUN SYSTEM® 8 HIGH WATTAGE FLUORESCENT GROW LAMP FIXTURE Question I have for you though, Can I get away with just one hanger in my tent and swap bulbs...

When setting up the lights, do you generally have both the red and blue lighting the plant t the same time, or do you wait for flowering to begin to go to 3700k? I am trying to avoid have a bunch of dangling cords hanging down over the plants, but have been unable to find a reflector device that...
