thanks for the responses, a couple of followup questions: (1) what power loupe do you use and do you see the trix clearly? (2) how easy is the pen to use, any tricks to see the trix? Easy focus?

Hello- I realize this has been asked before, but perhaps there is new info. I am using the Carson handheld 69-100x and it is just about impossible to focus and see at the same time. Looking for a unit that is handheld and can be easily used when looking at the plant. Again, the Carson is...

I just got off the phone with UVL. They told me to call back in July for RED SUNs. It turns out they are partnering with another firm to produce Horticultural bulbs, one of which is the RED SUN. They will be ready for purchase in July. He told me to call him back then for the name of the...

Hello! Wasn't that guy the "Pr0fesseur" or something like that? He did suggest those bulbs and I am still using them. I actually just came here for the first time in a while to see if there were any new T5 bulb recommendations...I guess not? Nice to be back!

Wow - no idea where THAT statement comes from...Fonz has been very helpful to just about everyone. Plus he bought a quite expensive spectrometer - a lot more than a few hundred bucks - on his own dime in order to publish the graphs that show which bulbs have what spectrums. You must be new to...

Where's the Fonz been?

Where's everybody at?

Thanks so much! Bulbs are in - 3 of the 4 have germed and they are going into soil tomorrow. Questions - If/When the Purples go - and they are getting due - what to rep them with? Also - I know you don't bloom under T5, but just the same - what should I swap out come Bloom time? Please note -...

Mr. Fonz - please don't mess with your vision...take all steps necessary to preserve it....I know...DUHH...but still...talk to the doc and take whatever measures necessary. Anyway, thanks so much for the spectrum analysis of the FIJI Purple and the others. Really selfless of you to put out the...

What kind of bugs?

Wondering if you have tried to "SPEC" out a FIJI yet.....wondering what spectrum it actually has.

Thanks!! My tardy response aside, a big LIKE to you.

I'm about a week or so away from harvest. The 660s will only have been in 3-4 weeks by then, not sure if that will have been enough time to prove anything. Also - 2 of my plants were White Widows from Dinafem. Even after a 6 (SIX!!) week veg one is 4 1/2" tall the other is 6". The Diesel is a...

The new 660 came in and has been installed. So back to 4 660s / 2 Red Sun / Coral Wave / UVL 454.

Jeff @ UVL wrote back. He is sending a replacement. He said exactly what Mr. Fonzarelli said - bad end caps can let oxygen in, toasting the lamp. I just repped it with a Red Sun. Still have 3 660s in there.
