Does anyone know how well Dr. Ott's, Ott-light plant growth tubes work. They are suppose to have a full spectrum. I read full spectrum lighting runs about 5000k so it's not really full spectrum it's a marketing term. The testimony for the lights say you will grow bigger and faster for growing and blooming. Dr. Ott is the guy who pioneered time lapse photography for Walt Disney. He invented these lights to grow a pumpkin indoors to capture the growth on time lapse photography. We have all just about seen his work in Cinderella. You know the pumpkin that grows into a coach... well that's a real pumpkin growing they turned into a cartoon!
I know that like MJ, other plants look for 6500k for veg and 3000k for bloom. I don't understand how full spectrum lighting can be used for blooming. Stix has advised me that I will be depriving my plants of the spectrum they need for certain phases. I agree with him, but I am very curious on the matter. So if anyone has used a light like Dr.Ott's, could you please share your results? Thank you.
