Actinic light or a 50/50 (Coralife, Marine Glo, 10,000K, 12,500K, 14,000K, 20,000K, etc.) - all sorts of light data (spectral analysis, lumen output, PAR values, etc.) are available in the aquarium literature and bulbs from aquarium mail order sources ie. marine depot, champion lighting, etc.

YEAH What he said!! Seriously youre probably wasteing your money on specialty bulbs for no reason.If you want to "go the extra mile " just get a cheap florecent shop lite ballist with a blacklight tube and one with a "grow" light. I personally use two blacklights so far pinset has been good will post pics soon.

Throwing in my 2 cents worth... I use a Actinic Blue light bulb that peaks at 480 nanometers, is available at fish stores (for aquariums). 15 watts, works beautifully

i feel compelled to take at this post. granted i don't have that many posts, but then again, i don't think the rating system for is very fair since those who have little or no idea what they are doing and make a shitload of two line replies with no relevant information other than some uneducated opinion, or "yeah man, totally" being the entire body of the reply are rated "mushroom gurus" or whatever. i've been experimenting on and off for a few years, and i've been using the shroomery website ever since it started back at lycaeum.org, for those of you who go back that far. that being said, i HIGHLY doubt black light had anything to do w/ mutation. i'm sure if there was any available data or anyone else w/ experience on this it would have been posted by now. i have gotten the best pinhead development using a "black light" however, i do only use the black light during pinhead initiation, and after that, incadescent or diffuse natural light. i also realize that this prolific pinset could be due to any number of other factors, so for now i'm superstitious about using the black light. granted, if mushroomwhisperer really was using a UV light (which i doubt anyway) i don't doubt that UV light can cause mutations, but i am extremely skeptical. and why the hell would you use a black light anyway, Badham noted the specific wavelengths that seemed to develop more pinheads, and UV light was not among them.

I got one of those under the counter fluorescent setups from Wal nuts does that mean I have to get a different setup? If I were to try it I would be using the Hippies invitro/Chronic TEK would that matter?

i just wanted to correct myself before anyone else found it necessary to do so. as you can see in earlier posts or in TMC Badham does suggest that ultra-violet increased pinhead formation. HOWEVER, according to TMC Badham noticed distinct peaks at 370, 440, and 460 nanometers. visible light falls into the range of 400-700 nanometer wavelength. for reference, the spectrum of visible light can be expressed as 4 x 10^-7m - 7 x 10^-7m. the chemistry book i'm referencing places UV light in the 10^-8m range. that being said, i'm not sure if the 370 nm wavelength Badham noted ( or 3.7 x 10^-7m) would be considered UV or not. in any event, and number of things could have caused the ALLEGED mutations, and at this point, UV cannot definitively be to blame for the ALLEGED mutations

If you are looking for a good bulb go to PetCo and go the the fish tank isle and find the " Ocean Blue " 12 - 24 Inch bulbs and i think not only will you be impressed with the light source but also the bulbs seem to run a little cooler and don't heat up as much. I think that is due the coloring of the bulb. GoodLuck

If you would like a small compact but yet vivid in blue color try 1 or 2 christmas lights you should look for the 1 1/2 round ball lights they sell them at walmart and if you want to try somthing new try 1 blue and 1 purple. you may be suprised with your end result. also these bulbs are low heaters and wont over heat your rig,

Finally I decided to order a Vita-Lite which is a brand name that the TMC recommended as it falls right into the category of spectrum and wavelength done in the thesis.
This is what I use.
No wonder I get great growth.

It would be interesting if the overall yield is better with vita-lite or if only the pin set is improved.

How about Chroma 50 bulbs? I have used them in my fish tanks before, and they have a temperature of 5000K with a CRI of 92.

Blue Actinic 50/50 peaking at 420 nanometers kicks ass I heard. so does indirect light. They don't really use light for anything other than as a signal to fruit, so it doesn't matter that much.
i'd like to see some pics of blacklight usage
