i am wonder if i can get some help are any of these lights good for growing
or these please help
help look at above thread
Ive been growing off of 2/250 watt White fluorescents & 1/25 watt Grow Light also a fluorescent, with no problems.
If that is all you have I would start vegging the plants with just the 2/fluorescents then after about 4-6 weeks when the plant is near 8-12 inches tall, I would throw in the Flood Light for Flowering.
Budding needs lots of Light!
what kind of bulb is in a flood light?
Couldn't really say, it could be a Halogen.
Is the light white or is it yellow?
it prob is.
David - just be careful with heat. try your best to get some cfl's to grow.
the 2700 K ones, that look kind of red are good for flowering and the blue ones good for veg. they have a higher K the full daylight spectrum ones.
(using both in flower would be a great idea) the 150 watt one's.
they are 20$ or under.
the 2 fluorescents will be great for clones. (I would throw those in the flower room to)
the flood light will work but I assume it will be quite hot.
well what u all think about these plant
Since there only 20 watt I would put as many as you can fit inside of the grow box.
Keep them close to the plants as well, no more then 3 inches above (CFLS & tube fluorescents only) for the flood light I would place it a foot above.
Do as demoreal mentions when flowering & add the flood to the cfls. The more light in this stage the better ;)
Make sure you have a fan to circulate air & exhaust excess heat. A 12v computer fan works fine, but if you have something more powerful use it.
Air flow & temperature (between 65-75ยบ F is best) are key players in growth development same as light schedule... which I learned the hard way. -->Possible Hermie<--
HALOGEN IS THE ABSOLUTE WOSRT LIGHT POSSIBLE TO GROW PLANTS WITH. anything else you have or can get would be better.
those floresent tubes wrk good but no flowr with them cfls work best!
