So.. what ratio would be optimal? I'm shooting to have 2 mother and 6-12 clones under it.

btw thanks for the link!

thx!

I find that 4:1 will make a seedling stretch.

Course dat depends on 4 of which an' 1 of who.
But generally 10:3 is good and 10:4 will keep the internodes tight.

Your best bet is to overkill one color but put it on a dimmer.
Then you have a sliding ratio and can "tune" a plants shape to some extent.
My Big light is 5:1 with the reds turned all the way up.
That is great for flowering, but will force pre-flowers in youngsters.
(Actually, that's a good thing)!
For vegging, I jus' turn the red down as low as 3:1 that makes for short, bushy girls
Sounds clever, but actually, I did it 'cause I was too lazy to do the math.
Dem damn micromoles always set me to chortling.

Too many variables for a tiny 'zard to think about, so, I jus' swamped 'em out with one beeg variable dat I could vary by hand, yah?

Hope yer havin' fun yet.
