Just to clarify, HO T5s (with aquarium bulbs available in led spectrums) are comparable PAR-wise to IndaGro, but they are more flexible in that Indicas prefer more red and Sats more blue: simply replace a few bulbs. Also, during late flower, mj benefits from more 660 (but NOT during veg).
How much benefit HO T5s flexibility would mean may never be tested (someone want to donate a 420?), but at < half the price, comparable (and quite possibly even better) results are available.
At Grandpa age, the longevity of the IndaGro bulb is irrelevant
To dispel another exaggeration, perhaps someone could do an electrical cost comparison between an 8 bulb (4ft) HO T5 and IndaGro type lights

Not doing aquaponics myself but this one tray is running the latest generation OG hood that runs a 600 watt vertical metal halide lamp and the Pro-420-PAR is running next to it. I had to look twice at the Inda-Gro cuz it looked like it was ducted but it's only the duct off the OG that is draped over the IG I was seeing. whew

whats not to like? less expensive to set up and run plus you get ten years. If I were a grandpa I'd buy one just to assure myself another 10 years.

This is so True my first grow is great. I have two 420's one old and one new. One is longer and the other is shorter the newer version design for better shipping to the customer. I don't have to purchase more AC just keep it at 74 and the room gets to 78 at night with the two lights on and the grow box 2x4x8 just Home Depot planet bulbs for cloning and veg. I have three shelves. Lower is for clones out of the middle shelf domes and up to the top shelf for there veg stage. Yes a lot of growers are buying and loving the power savings with my KW at .89 and fixed. I would never fire up high heat lamps and deal with all that heat. I had many coral fish tanks with the 3 MH with in and out fans for years and had to have a chiller to keep the 200 gallon tank from boiling the water. Thanks to the guys at Inda-Gro for taking the time and money to make a custom bulb for all of us to enjoy. They are not the same lamp you can order from China. ONE lamp does it all like a work horse.

It sure looks like the top (Inda-Grow) plants are doing better that the bottom (T5) plants, I can definitely see more green/leaves in the top domes, If the only difference between the two shelves is the lighting then I would say that's a clear comparison that Ida-Grow works better, at least for veg anyway. As soon as I can afford it I'm nabbin one, better start saving my milk money now.

hey everyone -=o)
sorry for the break but i'm still here! i need to finish sorting the girls in veg and gotta put a couple more gallons on the Blue Dream that's outside... then i can go shoot a fresh vid to post.
the girls are getting big in there, and my 3rd 420 will be here on wednesday, hopefully! i think i might just run all 3 in the tent for bloom. otherwise, veg is gonna get a solid kick in the pants, with a 420 sitting between 2 200s.
well, i gotta run now... i feel like the white rabbit in alice in wonderland... late for a very important date... lol... ttfn everyone!

... so my new phone is frustrating me as i am trying to use it's camcorder for the first time since getting it... i don't really have the time this evening to try to understand it's quirks so i settled for just taking some pics with it, and i'll tackle the video tomorrow. i also need to take some pics of the BD in the back yard as i am starting her up on the flower initiator tomorrow and will be starting a thread for her and this nifty red light.
but for now...
the Mendo Purp (day 45):
the Cannatonic (day 45):
the Agent Orange (day 40):
the White Fire (day 40):
and the Oregon Licorice (day 32):
here's a sneak peak of the Blue Dream... she sprouted from seed on 4-17 and has been topped 3 times, each time taking her down about 12 inches; as she sits in that pot, her tops are just past the 6 foot mark. she started under a Pro-200-PAR and then was in the tent when it was all veg, under the 2 200s and the 2 420s. she took right to the sun when i brought her outside, and has been trucking along ever since, about a month and a half if memory serves... she's presently taking down 15 gallons per week...

Just spent a few days in the beautiful city of Portland. It was nice to check out a new club and get some seeds without having to order online. Grabbed a pac of Time wreck for the near future.
Spliff,
nice update on the ladies. What's up with the cannatonic?looks like it has a way to go. How many weeks do you let it go? That BD looks awesome bro. I wish I had a place to grow outdoors this year anyways I will try to post a few pics of my plushberry and 3d that are at 14 days into flower. Peace out fellow growers

Working left to right here
First one is 3d at 14 days. Not sure witch pheno. #2 pic is plushberry at 14 days and I think it's the black cherry soda pheno. Got two of those,hoping for some nice colors pink/purple. The Last is marked plushberry # 1 and I think it's the space queen pheno but not sure. What do you guys think?

Psuagro,
That's sucks that you don't have much space,but at least your working with what you got. How big is your space?or should I say how small?

hey man -=o)
ya, the cannatonic is a notorious slow girl, and this is my first time with her. on the breeder's site (http://resinseeds.net/Cannatonic,en.html), they call out a 10 week bloom. my CT girl took the better part of 3 weeks to flip into full bloom, but based on what i know of plant physiology, she perceived that she was initially shorter than the Mendo Purp next to her and so rather than going bud in the "shadows" of a taller plant decided to outgrow the competition (and yes, she is now taller than the MP) and then have a better opportunity to bloom after vegging herself taller. those interested in further on this topic can google "shade avoidance syndrome". none the less, i logged her first day of full floral crown and will refer back to that to help dial in her ripeness. as it sits now, i consider her 2 weeks behind timetable.
the Blue Dream is actually my very first outdoor plant... well, her and the 3 tomatoes that i have going too. i'll take a pic tomorrow to show you all what my special blend did to these "gold nugget" cherry tomatoes... they are HUGE for cherries...
also, i will tidy up in veg a bit (cleaning cloners, and building a new one) and take some pics to put up of that room later, or perhaps tomorrow. well, ima get running for now, but i'l stop back by later. i still want to get a new video up tonight... hopefully things will pan out so i can.
