red or blue....light gangs?? advice plz

[HungryMcNasty]

hi all!!! when i bought my compact floro sysytem (125w hydrafarm)about a week ago the store had no more blue spectrum bulbs and they werent getting any until today. So he gave me a red spectrum for the time being. I went there to day to trade out bulbs and when i got home a little while ago i was thinking about how things are going to work out. For those who dont know i started a a new setup consisting of:a 4'x2'x2' homemade box, the light,and a 4" duct fan.I dont have too much room to grow but its enough.My main question is that i have been told that i should start flowering when my plants are around 10-15"....what should i do, when i start flowering go buy a red spectrum bulb or do yall think it will be fine with theblue spec.ANY ADVICE i am more than thankful for. Also will be having pics soon to further help us all>

if you can fit 2x 125w in there, just use blue and red spectrum, otherwise i would go with the red one for flowering if you have to choose. or try fitting a well balanced spectrum CFL? they dont cost much and would help alot in small space like this.

good luck with your grow friend, hope everything work's out great.:thumbsup:
