Veg Lighting

[Loafyboy]

..... I do have a 400watt MH bulb (fitting E40) but its colour temp is 4000k. When its on it looks just plain old white and it lets off loads of heat. I guess this wouldnt be any good for my friendly trees
thanks for the tips, its much appreciated:thumbsup:

That's the right type of bulb, and I have heard you can use a 400 watt bulb in a 600 watt ballast but I would not fancy trying it or recommend it as it may be a fire hazard!

Maybe someone can shed more light () on it......

I bought a 250watt SON T AGRO (HPS) as a veg light but when the light is on it doesnt look very blue to me infact it looks yellow and more like a flowering light which in turn makes the plants too tall and spindly :mad: They take too long to grow under this light and i am wondering if anyone can give me any pointers for the 'best' blue veg light to use? I don't want one of those energy saver lights cos i heard they are great when directly on top of a Rating: 5
