Hello,
I have just bought the Sun System HPS 150 Grow Light Fixture for a 2x2 space, for four plants. This light is 150w and produces 16,000 lumens. I am concerned that this might be too much in the red spectrum, I do not know nor can I find info on how much red and blue spectrum it produces, and will cause my plants to become leggy, which I do not want. I was thinking maybe of supplementing this light with some cool spectrum fluorescent lights set vertically in the space to help promote branches and more vegetative growth. I am only starting with seeds from bags.
This is my first time and I would really appreciate some thoughts on the matter!
