Some of you have already heard the language I'm trying too speak and since I'm here to freely help the willing, needed to share something.
Some have asked;" rev, if a high kelvin halide bulb is best for proper ripening and flavors and smells and yet sacrifices a bit on yield, why not run the 7200k or 14000k hamiltons with a sodium for a bit more yield?"
You can brothers, however the problem is you still have that high red nanometer and especially far red working against your ripening time a bit and you guys flip out when I tell you how long you need too give them, so you don't want too extend it further.
Also the trees next too the halide will be better and you get no UV from the sodium, just not worth it or I'd say it is.
So is there an answer and possible way too increase yields with the 14000k and not increase ripening time? Yes, there indeed may be.
I've been running 6500k or actinic blue in combination with standard 4100k in a t5 unit and getting incredible results compared too other combinations we had tried.
Thought, why not try the one halide combination we have not tried yet, so too say we did.
Slapped an old standard Phillips home depot 4100k special right next to the 14000k Hamilton beach and suddenly seen the most incredible spectrum I've ever seen and the fastest response from the plants I've ever seen as I watched them grow a node the first five hours I slapped it on.
I'm talking colors of pink and violet and other colors I never even seen before.
Makes total sense as i smiled with the lord in mind as always.
Two different halides that one puts toward the much needed blue nanometers and the other has most the par in the middle range and neither one has too much red or far red and both release nice uva/uvb.
Nope, I'm not stamping this yet, I'll be back lord willing in 30 days to give another report and have those pictures some have harped about.
Just letting those know that have asked, we may have found the answer so stay tuned.
One love, rev.the natural....I love cactus! Lol
