BlueB, I saw that same chart but they don't tell witch bulb is the bottom chart, or graph. To me the bottom graph looks promising.
The bottom one is the Aqua Medic Plant Grow, I have 2 coming by fedex on Tues. Gotta watch when you're looking up their SPD's, those charts are correct but the charts
they printed on
their own packaging is dramatically incorrect. It shows all the peaks shifted about 50-60nm to the left, so the 660nm peak appears to be the very common 611nm peak, but when you line up the mercury spikes that are common to triphosphoric fluoros, the 554nm and 420nm spike are both shifted waaay off. I dunno why they havent corrected it, but you can find the correct spd's published online, but the graphs they print on their packaging are not correct.
<-- incorrect, you cannot find a bulb anywhere with a spike in the 490ish, or 350nm range? (350 would be a reptile bulb with warnings about UV exposure) This is the graph printed on their packaging.
<-- correct, although unsure if this is the plant grow or possibly planta spd, I know when they re-did the planta into the plant grow they tweaked the red spectrum abit, but it's still supposed to provide the 650-660 range.
Update on my bulb fiasco... So after my order with AS was cancelled, I ordered 4 Red Suns from HelloLights.com. Then waited for a week before calling them to ask where my tracking number was, which was when they said they were out of stock until??? So I changed that order from 4 red suns to 2 AquaMedic Plant Grows that I should be getting on Tuesday. I then ordered 4 Red Suns from ReefCorals.com... 5 minutes later (right after cancelling my red sun order with them) HelloLights calls me and says "oh we do have them in stock" then why the fuck was I waiting for a week for you to send them!??? So I say "Too late, I already ordered 4 from someone else when you told me you were out, Ive been waiting since early December to get these". Then 2 days later ReefCorals.com emails me and says "oh our dropshipper is out, no one carries these so you can wait or cancel" So I cancel with those idiots, then call HelloLights back to ask about the Red Suns that they supposedly did have in stock afterall... They're out... but are supposed to be getting a shipment in tomorrow, so I have 4 shipping out tomorrow. Damn, since Dec11 and I still dont have my replacement RedSuns from those first two that went out. Anyway, +4 Red Sun and +2 Plant grows this coming week, then some Rosettes are next in line. Im gonna have 2 RedSuns, 1 CoralWave and 1 ReefWave in each 4 bulb panel in the flowering box, until eventually swapping the reef wave for a rosette (or maybe a plant grow) Im gonna put the plant grows in the veg box first though.
