Transitional Lighting Question

[Doc 007]

This question pertains to a multi light setup with veg & fruiting bulbs.

When you switch your light to 12/12 do most people also switch to all fruiting bulbs or do people use half/half during this week and then go all warm subsequent weeks?

Opinions?

opinions are like........ anyway you could get a thousand different replies to this question. I personally mix it up and run both types during flowering.

^^^ so true. A lot of people keep the MH going in flower until buds start to form then they switch. But dual is best. If you have extra light, add it right when you switch to 12/12 to help with stretch.

I would think that mixed up would most resemble nature, so thats what I have always done.

Mahalo for the replies so far.

I just switched to straight HPS after using CFLs, but if you have both kinds of light I would use both.

Forget about nature thats the point of growing inside. I have used a mix.
