Why no one light set up works for all
Phaeton said "sativa wants almost 20% more blue than the indica." We can pretty well extrapolate that as ^^^^ 411, BUT, what about crosses? I say play to the strain that is dominant. BUT, I am growing my first (F1 X) between S/I and will begin to select the Indica dom from them to clone. THEN I can hone in on which combination of spectrums works best. However, I have seen signs already as the pinkish side plants have larger leaf sets
Another hot tip is that the blue spectrum is only utilized by ~ 8-10%. So if your grow bulbs have a decent % blue, adding a Special Blue Actinic (I was) is wasting a slot needed for 550-700, but if/when you are in flower, using ~ 80% 600-740, then adding a SBA would be essential.
Bear in mind I am using 6/8 bulb HO T5: One 3 bulb mix leaned to pink, the other with the SBA blue-pink. I noticed the plants under the pinker blend had bigger leaf sets! Good indicator that they are Indica dom. So today, beginning 3rd week veg, I replaced #2 (SBA) with a UVL AquaSun.
Spectral balance is now equal, leaning toward pink, as follows:
Veg
1 & 4. Quantum Grow (veg only)
2 & 6. UVL AquaSun (veg only)
3 & 5. Coral Wave (veg/flower)
This config distributes the spectrums evenly
* UVL says Red Lifes will be shipped out this Friday. They now have a few 660s for testing. I hope to wrangle 2.
For Flower I'm thinking
1 & 8 Quantum Flower or UVL AquaSun
2 & 7 660
3 & 5 Coral Waves
4 & 6 Red Lifes - 600-615

That 411 probably got lost. UVL has been working on developing a line exclusively for horticulture, and now have their first small sample run of 660s.

How many plants are you growing under T5HO? I've been looking at the 4ft 8 bulb unit..what kinda yields you getting? Also, how much does that T5 add to your normal monthly bill?

Hmmm I didn't know UVL was making progress on the 660nm bulb... glad to hear...

Not available for general public yet. MSRP is said to be $25. Let me know who wants in, and how many, and I will ask UVL. They got a run of 18 bulbs. I have no idea how many are spoken for. I did not get any, thinking my ZooMed FloraSun + Coral Waves + Red Lifes (shipped- contact your retailer) gets me close enough without dropping another $50. Will know in about 3-4 weeks when I am 1-2 weeks into flower

Do you know the spectrum info? Is it really a pure red like a red sun or is it a mix like a flora sun? I would love to see a picture of one lit up. I'm all about looking for ANY bulb that is red dominant at this point so I can shift the overall ratio farther.

Not really, Roseates say 650 all over em, but theyre still a tri-band like the FloraSuns.
Pure like red suns or tri-band like roseates??? Inquiring minds want to know... And a graph can tell a thousand words

Yes. Seriously. What? Is it like 6 ft of stem and then buds at the top? heh.
