Yes I haer everyone raving about the new bulbs...

But MORE LIGHT doesn't equal REQUIRED LIGHT.

I am not clear on this and how this is supposed to work.......

But a plant in flower needs primary red waves.....2700K or so....... It needs that type of light and it needs it as the MAJORITY of the type of light it gets.

The new dual spectrums....how in the world is ONE BULB going to give me PRIMARY BLUE or 6500K I want during veg...but then magically give me PRIMARY RED that the plants need in flower.

With both spectrums being present, if the red waves are not the stonger of the two, the plant simply doesnt get what it really needs.

I have no doubt these are great for vegging.....no doubt at all. But I am not sure the higher Kelvins do much of anything on the flowers themselves and wonder why not just use more of the appropriate light?

Perhaps I am missing something fundamental here.....

Sounds great but..........

I dont think these bulbs can beat my CFL's durring early seedling and veg stages.

I would still like to see some full flowers and a grow thread by someone who is using that new bulb. If it works, I AM ALL OVER IT.

But I need to know the whys of the paradox I see.

Thanks for the time
