Thanks for the response! I have tried bugging Quantum, but the people acted like they had no clue what I was talking about. Where did you get the charts from? I am really interested in seeing what the spectrum for those bulbs are. So the grow looks decent, but not the bloom? I saw a guy use...

In my past grows I have used fence posts with 9 plants on each fence post. I think I want to do something different with my new garden. I want to use one large container to grow at least 20-22 plants per harvest. This would mean a container roughly 7-8ft long by 4 ft wide. Does anyone know...

I am looking into buying a T5 badboy system. I am interested in the aquarium bulbs, but would like to see a light spectrum chart for the Quantum grow and bloom lamps as well. Anyone know where to find a chart with that information? I am trying to see how much green or yellow comes from those...

Anyone been able to find a chart that shows the light spectrum of quantum grow and bloom lamps?

Thanks again everyone. It seems everyone is having some decent success with just about any T5 system. I have noticed Badboy seems to have quite a few added advantages with venting, placement, ability to fold, etc. In the long run the extra money could be well spent. I have decided on bad boy...

Thanks everyone for the responses. I must say the bad boy looks like the best choice. I love the placement of the ballasts, and the fact that they have 16 lamp units which most brands seem to not be making. Prof I am interested in maybe exploring aquarium bulbs eventually, but not quite sure...

Have you used the badboy t5 system, or used these bulbs? If so how was yield and quantity compared to HID? Thanks.

bump anyone know?

Anyone know where to find a chart that shows the spectrum of the quantum lamps? Basically interested to see the amount of green and yellow.

I have looked at sunblaze, and I am curious how it compares to the bad boy.

I am basically just trying to find the brand most people are the happiest with. I have heard great things about Badboy, but not quite sure about the other brands. Just trying to make the best choice before I spend the money. Happy to see you are satisfied with your purchase. Thanks.

Anyone have a Badboy?

I have decided to go with a T5 system. I may be buying Badboy T5's. I will be buying quite a few T5's for my fairly large setup. Would you recommend the Badboy or some other brand?

Thanks for the thread recommendation. Badboy is looking more and more like the winner.

I appreciate the replies. I don't like the idea of cfl's to flower. I have used them to veg in the past, but after seeing a T5 on veg there was no contest. I have checked out Profs thread. He was the reason I got interested in the first place. Still not quite sure of the bulb choices, but I have...

In my past I have always used water cooled lighting. Now I am starting up fresh at a new location, planning a new setup. Water cooled is great, but expensive, and the huge ressies take up so much room that could be used for growing. I have done some research and T5's seem like they could...

I just use net pots and neoprene from clone through flower. No need for anything else.

PetFlora thank you for your original suggestion to check out that thread. It has opened my eyes to new possibilities. To be able to get away from the expensive water cooled lighting would be great. I was originally thinking about using T5's for veg, but now flower seems probable. So are the...

I have been reading Professors thread, and T5's do seem awesome. From research I have been doing people are getting good results even from flowering. I may have to change my entire thinking on grow lights. I may set up an entire T5 system in veg, and flower now. Not sure, but still seeking more...

Seems like a pretty nice setup, but probably expensive. One day I will do something like that. As for now a 696gph pump inside a 50 gal res is good enough to cool 1,000 watts. The main problem is space to hold 200 gal of ressies. I plan on having a big flower area.
