They seem to love the heat so long as they get water! these airpots i must say keep the roots nice and cool!!! just have to keep watering them!!!
Pr0fesseur, I want to play but remain a bit confused. I also have an 8 bulb T5. But you only list 6 bulbs.
What are the 8 - or is it 11? - bulbs I should get and in what position 1-8 of the fixture do they go in? (They are 48" long). Which ones get swapped for bloom, where do they go?
THANKS!

novice11,
My set up is as follows (in this order)
UVL 454 W/internal reflector
Fiji Purple
UVL super actinic w/internal reflector
ATI 12k aquablue speacial (I think that the ATI blue plus is probably a more viable bulb here)
UVL 75.25 w/internal reflector
Fiji pruple
these lights will give you a good spectrum to veg from, with any empty space I would use more blue (blue plus)(actinic) bulbs for veg and more red for flower(redsun), or the Fiji purple is a good mix of both blue and red, pr0fessor suggested to me to look at the Fiji purple as like a "Base" and to build from it to get what you need, depending on veg/flower and how many tubes your using. As for the order of the lights, I wouldnt put the same bulbs next to each other and if I remember correctly I think that I remember reading not to put the red bulbs on the ends. (not sure how serious this is)
this is just what ive gathered and I am by no means experienced!

loved that vid! Got me really thinking, a simple search of UVB for marijuana brought up fantastic results...
I'd been thinking since UVB is harmful rigging up a door trigger so when the doors shut its on and when its open its off, protecting you from the harmful rays...
(I later found a post of someone who actually did this - so at least I know its possible..)
(Some people even said a blacklight maybe able to emit the light that the plants require ~ I couldn't do anymore research on this though)
https://www.rollitup.org/indoor-growing/36510-uvb-thc-experiment-2.html ~ Is one from our very own RUI, very short though...
http://www.greenmanspage.com/guides/thc.html ~ I must admit I haven't read this one yet, but I skimmed and it mentions quite a few studies..
Very interesting stuff! Seriously looking to get a UVB light in about a month...
Does anyone else know about UVB or is currently running it in their setups?

spacing should be as such
you want the plants to get an even light pattern so try to space lights 2 bulbs away from each of the similar spectrum.

That's ups for you always breaking shit!!! I'm out countless dollars from their negligance. But good luck with your setup!
For those asking about veg bloom.. simply replace one or two actnics with a red sun...as the Fiji have red and the 75.25 12000k also have "some" red
I am still looking for a "far" red like The ATI pro color! (discontinued!) Or something with a far red spectrum...

I would be so pissed about that many broken bulbs!, FedEx delivers most of my things, I havent had anything broken yet. luckily I guess! ordering from 5+sites can get rather expensive on shipping cost so it is rather nice that aquarium specialty has a large variety of quality bulbs.

No its a red and a blue bulb... they all have different spectrum..light doesent "mix" thats an optical illusion..

I love what I'm seeing. Hard to believe these fatties are being done under T5's.

In the words of Cartman. " You warped my fragile little mind"
those look mouth watering. I want to get mine started so bad. I have to wait a couple weeks to get the bulbs. cool thing is my homies cousins next door neighbor owns an aquarium shop and is hooking me up with those bulbs for 15 to 20 each. I don't have to order them
