You don't necessarily have to spend the money to get the digi. Those are more worth it if you are growing hydro. Maybe if you got the hydro pH tester you can test the run-off and get the Rapi Test too and for about $15 you have a good idea what the pH is. That's what I do.

He didn't elaborate on their particular spectrum, i dont know if he's full of shit or not, but if he is right, that would explain alot of the problems i had. If i find out this is in fact true, do you think when i re-wire them with the amber and far red that there is any point in using them at all or just start over with brighter ones that i know are in the exact spectrum?

Yeah, I thought the street lights would not be the right spectrum. I would just use the extra ones you have and put them together in a light that can supplement the bottom of the plants. Then get these lights:

Thanks man. Arm hurts pretty bad towards the evening and night time but it is healing. Hopefully in 3 weeks or so they can fit me for the device.
