I am not questioning the T5's, they have been used for ages in growing. They are quite common in my part of the world. I would use them myself, if I didn't need the heat from the HPS or MH for the better part of the year.
I am questioning your claim the quality of your product has anything to do with UV. If anything, your setup shows the importance of (deep) blue light. I mean, come on... you post a paper on the effect on UVB, then it turns out your lights have none. Doesn't really inspire a lot of confidence, does it?
And about not believing you: of course I don't! Do you believe everyone on the internet? Many more claim to grow the best, and have followers of their own. I feel it's no more than reasonable to ask for proof, but you seem unwilling to provide it... except if I buy a ticket to the States. Of course you are under no obligation to prove anything to me or anyone else, but in that case also don't try to prove anything by quote a couple of papers that suit your purpose. Everyone can "prove" almost anything to even an educated audience by cherry picking some papers.
It's not personal man, but I won't apologize for desiring some measure of objectivity. It's fine you believe you got your operation just about perfected - maybe it is, maybe it isn't - but if you start "teaching" and making claims that are obviously not solid, I push back.
