What are the different wavelengths do I need for the best vegetative growth cycle? Right now I have 3 6000k 27 watt CFL at 1700 lumens ea. and 4 6500k 26 watt CFL at 1600 lumens ea.
Should I add some around the 2500-2700k spectrum to supplement or is the 6000-6500k range all that is needed?
I am only growing one plant of some bagseed and plan to set up a customized closet grow to get this puppy big. I will prolly end up lining the walls of a 4x4x8 closet with mylar and then with some t5 fluorescents at 2200-2500k or some t8 fluorescents around the same with 4 6000k 27 watt CFL's and 6 6500k 26 watt CFL's. I am going hydroponic and my sprout seems to be doing good. I am in week 2 and I have several 1/2ft roots coming out the bottom of the net pot and a lot more coming out every day and the sprout is getting huge really quickly.
I plan to flower with a 250w or 400w HPS/MH with a switchable ballast depending on how big the plant gets and then for the next grow use MH as the main vegetative light. What do you guys think? :jointsmile:
