[bluenose]

hi first time grower here just wanted to know what would be the best set up with using 4 flors to grow just about to change to 12/12 and was wondering if 2xcool and2x warm white would be better or would 4x warms ( all warm) be better thanxs

After two years growing I'm still experimenting but I use two cool white to one warm white with good results.

not saying floro wont give you pot....but if you are growing indoors when you switch to 12 12 its best to invest money in hid lights...get a 400w high pressure sodium for your 12 12 cycle and get the better results to the risk you take growing indoors...im not sayin floro wont give you bud , but queit as much at ALL ! hid is better cuz its the closest thing to the sunlight that your gonna get....and pot grows so much better with these lights...i was a newbie indoor grower last year and followed the same advice and out of 6 babys i had 3 wonderful girls to grow huge buds with....my opinion......PEACE !

:D Jay....happy growing :D

I only want a small quantity of very strong bud as I grow for personal use only. My first crop, using your method, cost me £300 in electric! Fluoros are cheap to set up, cheap to replace, cheap to run, and still produce very nice weed. So I'll stick with fluoros thanks. :)

but my question ismore what combenation of flors tubes should i used to bud and flower would all warm white be better or would 2 warm 2 cool white be better for flowering as read diffrent things on it sure i read that all warm are better as more red in the light spetrum but also read a mix of both is better :confused: , so if anyone can point me in the right way, i am only growing for persnal use too, and would consider hid lights maybe next year after a few grows and i know what i am doing :)

Two of each will work very well from begining to end....bonbon

I used flouros for a couple of years and had exellent results from them .
I used to grow with cool whites and flower with two warm to every one cool.
People say they,re rubbish becouse they herd it from others but flouros will grow nice stocky plants with heavy amounts of bud.

Disco....

:rolleyes: i have 4 4ft tubes so what would u use would u go with 2ww 2cw or 3ww 1cw? thanxs for advice

Half the fun of growing is experimenting :) Use 50/50 warm and cool for this grow then try 3 cool 1 warm for your next grow and see what happens. I still think you'll need another tube though.

i have 4 4ft tubes considering getting 5ft tubes next grow as better whattage what means more lums, and hopfully some time early next year get the a hid or other big light and really go for it thanxs for advice nice one

Do as heavy fuel said and experiment , i would use 50/50 or go for more warm than cool.
I used an old sunbed with eight 6ft tubes total of 520watts , this give me 12 square feet of even light which i could get close to 20 plants under.
Keep em short and the lights close.

I've used a sunbed before but I had to chop it down to 4ft, can't get 6ft cool whites near here. I'm using sets of 5 at the mo, 3 cool 2 warm, but I'll swap to 3 warm on one set and see what happens, Tech. I like playing.
