whats the deal with compact fluorecents?

[BobBong]

kelvin degree! i'm not sure about the kelvin... all i can really tell you is the bulb is a 45w pull 150w output, compact flourescent. each bulb is 2900lummes.

450w
8700lummes
145w incandescent

u can see that info in the bulb but well if u don`t know about it with more kelvin degrees the spectrum is more white (daylight) and if u rest k degress the spectrum turn to red ( for flowering ) 3200ºk for down

but your bulbs are 4 save energy?

because my indoor work with save energy bulbs 6200ºk 45 watts for growiing and 2700ºk 45 watts for flowering

So i did some LST on the big girl (it's confirmed) as you can see from the preflower pic. the tiedown has opened the back 4 branches, so they should all grow as if they were tops.... my god this is gonna be beautiful.


Enjoy.

The other plant is #3. still to early to tell sex and i'm also trying a different form of LST... i've tied the branches together to form a nice green canopy, eventually i'll trim the lower sections and possibley clone if it's a female.. it'll be another big win for my first grow attempt!

The bulbs are a cool white, which from my understanding are in the blue spec. for flowering i've brought in 145w of incandescent, which should give it a full spectrum, it's more than 20% of the wattage of the cool white flouro's.

and yes they save money, they only pull 45w

bob where you diggin up red spec lights in that shape...only see tube lighting in NY...USA

Kelvin degrees are only shown on lights specifically made for growing plants.

[BobBong]

The compact flouro's are the curley shaped bulbs (3 main)

the other incandescent bulbs are just various bulbs and fixtures i have. A lamp hooked to the wall, a snake lamp in the corner, a converted lava lamp fixture and a small lamp (silver stand)

i don't have much money right now and no 100w bulbs around, so i've just combined as much red spec. light as i could with the already existing CF's

kelvin is a kind of degree it indicates the spectrum of the light (color temperature)for growing is 5200 to 6200 (so close to the white a kind a daylight but more up more better) and for flowering 3200 , 2400 k (betwen red and yellow).

and not is only shown on lights specifically made for growing plants all the kind of lights had a kelvin degrees even a candle

[BobBong]

Do you see the # of kelvin written on the side of a candle?

You'd need a Kelvin Thermometer wouldn't you?

well here is image 4 kelvin table and the right name is kelvinometer but really is a shitt because exist this kind of table's!!

and how supossed insert a pic here?
