Great lighting site Ross - Thanks.

Mary, please let us know what you find out about shipping to Canada. Have you tried some of the hydroponic stores for T5's. Are you in Edmonton? We have a few good ones.

FYI, in a 2' x 4' area I grow my Phals under 6 reg. flourescent tubes (50:50 mix cool white and grw lux). Flowering is good and growth is very good.

Hi Dave, I grow my phals by an east/northeast facing window under 2 48 inch 40 watt full spectrum tubes (I got them in Rona in Calgary). I have come to suspect my lighting isn't sufficient for the plants to do any more than maybe grow a leaf here or there but because I don';t have a light meter yet I cannot be 100% sure. The one place I called that carried light meters is a hydroponic store but they were out of meters at the moment and expecting more in later this week. I don't know if I am plain unlucky or what but this was the only place that had meters (I don't know anyone in my club to call to find out more about where to get supplies) but I have plans on going and seeing what they have in lighting that I could get.
regards. mary
