You want to give the seedling and plant as much blue as possible.. this means keeping as much red away from it as possible..until you begin flowering.

Hope this helps.

Bob.

Thanks Bob.

From The Cannabis Bible by Greg Green:

CTT in Kelvin (K)/ Light Color/ Effect/

5000 to 8000/ Deep blue/ Encourages excellent leaf and stem growth.

stem growth.

4000/ Neutral white/ Promotes normal growth.

3700 to 4000/ Warm neutral/ Promotes rapid growth.

3000 to 37000/ Warmer yellow neutral/ Highly active
photosynthesis for all stages of growth.

Don't use mirrors. The best thing for the walls is flat white paint.

hey what do i know, but,the compact flouros i have are large units!,, i mean large, the most common are agrolight, they kick arse, those look like white light mix compacts, and i would want to mix it with some grolux coloured lamps between, the agrolights come in veg and flowering bulbs, although i wouldnt recomend the flowering abilities of them, i just wonder what sort of light mix those are! they look almost like the type used in the lamps in my house,,, which are not IDEAL for growing, not enough blue!,,thats why i think the suplement of a growlux would make for very interessting developements growth wise!, a UV light or several would also be good!
but like i said what do i know ,

good luck man, stay cool.

Recently ive been thinking about doing an indoor grow with floros for cheap and I was looking at your setup and i had some questions about the way you wired your lights. Do you wire all the lights to a single cord? are they grounded? can u possibly show a pic of how they are wired
