my bloom lights come on at 7pm (central time). i will take some pics of a plant under a 600W HPS and you tell me you've seen better with any combination of lights (other than large amounts of high wattage HPS'!)

Very interested to see the pictures. Do you see it being possible to flower all the plants with a single 600watt HPS? I'd really like to have light coming from the top and side but I may not be able to. Looking to get the best yeild possible, veg is never an issue. Thanks again!!!
jon420 Reviewed by jon420 on . Flowering with fluorescent tubes!?!? I have been using the search button but cannot find the results I'm looking for. Hope some people here can help. I am trying to find out who has had great success flowering with fluorescent tubes (t12's)??? What tubes did you use? How did you aquire the greatest results from the tubes? How close did you keep them to the ladies? Did you use any special nutes for flowering? (I heard Beastie Blooms works great?) Any info on the flowering stage with fluorescent tubes would be very helpful? Rating: 5
