Question

[Rollthtblunt]

Ok so im getting

3 250w CFL's (Blue)
2 250w CFL's (Red)

Will it do anything to my plants if I run the two red's on the sides and the three blues on the top?

And what stages would you suggest I run the Red's & Blue's on?

 

[StonerGrower]

A blue-geen spectrum is optimal for the vegitave growth stage. When you decide to induce flowering a red-orange spectrum is most suitable.

 

[Lord Mong]

Can you atcually flower with white/blue spectrums??

 

[Lord Mong]

I have just been reading about using CFL's, and it appears that a mix of the two red and blue can be beneficial...is this true??

 

[Damagoman]

Yes , yes , yes

Like Stoner says
"A blue-geen spectrum is optimal for the vegitave growth stage. When you decide to induce flowering a red-orange spectrum is most suitable."

 

[Lord Mong]

Cool...but can you have a mix from the start??...or would that induce flowering?

 

[Bagzgroove]

No it won't induce flowering. . . only the light cycles do that. . .I just recently took out all blue spec out of my flower cab and replaced with the redorange. . . The other benifit of soft whites (redorange) over daylights (blue) their lumen output tends to be higher than the blues. . . nothing but good when flowering. . .

 

[fallen]

yes, they'll work fine.

 

[Lord Mong]

Thanks for that....
