    aquamedic, why not just use these? it really seems like a person should be able to get away with using actinic/plant grow in a 25/75 ratio. like 6 plant grows and 2 actinics, or Fiji purple instead of actinic. http://www.aqua-medic.de/index.php?r=catalog/product&id=216

    Here is what the same strain looks like under HPS as a reminder. Can't wait to see the color/quality/aroma/medicinal differences between the HPS and T5 in about 66 days or so.

    Hawaii has 4 times more UVb than the mainland. This goes for all tropical zones including the non-mountainous ones. I don't think you need to have a "mountain strain" in order to make good use of UVb. I know what you are saying though. I am willing to bet that all cannabis strains benefit...

    I already posted photos with the flora sun switch. They are after all, made for plant growth. They WILL increase growth within 24 hours because they contain the deep red that plants use. The coral wave bulbs you are using ARE actinic bulbs meant for coral, hence the name coral wave. That...

    I just switched out my fixture again today to try something new for flower mode. 4 Flora Sun, 1 Fiji Purple 2 Red Sun, 1 Plant Grow. Then I have 2 more plant grows on each side of the plant for side lighting in a 2-bulb fixture. The top fixture is very red while the side lighting has more...

    So do you only turn on the reptile light at beginning and end of light cycle? and for how long do you leave them on? do you just leave them on all the time? i've heard a few people say before that plants can only handle certain types of light at early and late of the ON cycle. I don't know if...

    I've grown under 24/0 before with astonishing results. The only thing is they need to be watered more frequently. I have read somewhere about plants liking some darkness to process stored energy or ATF? But I have NEVER noticed plants not liking the 24/0 cycle. I agree that they stretch more...

    The Flora Suns are pretty much identical to the aqua medics plant grow and half the price. There is no 660nm peak in the gieseman aqua floras bulb though, those are pretty much 6000K or 6500K type of bulb. The plant grow already has the whole 630 and 660 range, so why not just use those? I'm...

    Flora Suns are indeed the best on the market for your money for getting that deeper red in there. They work, and that's all there is to it. The Red Sun IS a 630nm bulb, specifically and very orange. I really don't think having only one wavelength peak in a bulb is as beneficial as an entire...

    I could honestly care less about yield. My friend grew this same strain outdoors last summer and it went a lot longer and had time to finish. They only pulled about 1/8 ounce from the plant but the flavor was amazing. It doesn't even taste like the same smoke. The medicinal properties are...

    The secret to getting a pound off of one plant is to prune, top, transplant, prune, top, transplant until you have a giant bush in a 20 gallon container. Yes, it will take up your entire grow room and it takes a lot more time, but it is fun pulling a lot of giant buds off of one plant. The...

    Hahaha, yeah ya lost me a little bit but anyway the one pound I thought I would pull off was an estimate since when I said that I was in the middle of chopping when fresh. It only finished drying today actually so I finally got the weight. I think that 11 oz is pretty close for guessing...
