here are some pics at week 7, had a spider mite problem 2 weeks ago, eliminated them, they are back to plumping/growing new white hairs after i burned the hairs with the water/pepper spray mixture under lights. None of the hairs have naturally turned red yet. also note that a branch broke off during a move to a new house and i've been drying it out the past week and a half tried a bit today, very head/energetic high at first, not super strong, but lasted a while. just showing some updated pics and looking for any advice how much longer and a little bit of bud shots for skeptics, note this is my first grow.View attachment 1971956View attachment 1971957View attachment 1971958View attachment 1971959View attachment 1971960you can go back a bit or search this thread to see pics along the way.

I dont have a tent. I have a room dedicated to it. So I can spread them out slightly more with out raising the light too much

OK, here's some T5 side lighting. There are two four-bulb fixtures in the (400w) HPS tent and two two-bulb fixtures with the LEDs. The T5s are an even mix of Flora Suns and Coral Waves. I posted a shot of just the bulbs here a while ago, if anyone wants to see what that looks like.

This might solve our Far Red problem. Any thoughts? Will it cover a 2 x 4 area... does placement matter...?

Its not the spectrum just the quality of the LED i was trying to show you the difference in the so called GROW LED vs a much higher quality LED color is irrelevant because the LED manufacturers produce them in plenty of colors those just happen to be the cool white variety.

I have pro colors before they went out of production and they are NOT pink,.... far from it actually they are quite redder than the other red bulbs..

This was the only ATI ProColor spectrum graph that I ever found on the Aquarium forums back when I was looking (this is page 55 or something)... I didn't spend a whole lot of time looking... I am not sure if it is 100% legit, but there it is again for what it is worth...

No such thing... UV is 10~400nm heat lamps are infrared 750 nm - 1 mm

remember 48" bulbs will appear darker than the 24" variety due to the amount of light per foot. but they are MUCH darker than my fijis and a smidge darker than the red suns.. its a noticeable difference.. that aside they are dead tech... moving on...

NOT PINK?? Here's a photo, I must be colorblind because these are pretty damn pink! You sure you have ProColors? Notice the word ProColor on the bulb. Post photos of your "red" ProColors please, it would be nice to see the difference you are talking about here.

Nope plants dont need heat from those sources that will only dehydrate them.. if you need warmth add light!

Heh, no comment eh? You like to go around telling people they are wrong and then not correcting yourself? Seems to me everyone is doing the actual testing of these bulbs for you. I've spent over $800 on T5 bulbs and have found the only real results to be with the ProColors or PINK plant bulbs. If you have results to show, why don't you show them? I haven't seen any photos from you and yet you are the one that started this thread. Is this just some idea that you had that you wanted others to test for you? I'm not getting it so far. People, stick with HPS and MH. Plants don't like low intensity lights, save your money!
