I love this thread and I've not even finished page 1!

interested in LED's for life these days.

moving to Hilo (from Portland OR) May and electricity is more than 2x here. which got me interested in LEDs in the first place

I like the cake pan lamp

anyway -- I'll be doing a bunch of reading here.

Now, on the 2-3 week extra finish time, has anyone here tried reptile UVB CFL bulbs to aument the light spectrum?

I've been flowering under 436w t-5 in red with 3 UVB cfl's. The change when I first added them was nothing short of fascinating/miraculous!

It enhances the trichome production.

ok, back to reading
