Lighting...

[deesbarrett]

Is it ok to mix different color lights during flowering...meaning,I have a 150w hps that I am using to flower 1 plant.And i also have a couple 2700k cfls with it...Is it ok if I put my huge 105w 6500k cfls in with my HPS???The 105w cfls put out 6900 lumens a piece.

of course it's okay...actually, it's encouraged man! lights can't hurt the plants unless they produce too much heat and the CFL's won't do that.

yes but always use more red then blue for exap. i have a 1000 wtt hps and run a 400 mh hopes this helps

Yea it's actually a good thing to have broad spectrum lighting as far as personal grows go. (not efficient for money grows though)

You could get a couple more 150w hps's for $20 ea though... Just saying since they throw more useable light and put out 15k lumens of light that actually works better for flowering but either way sure.

I use a few 100W 6500 CFL's along with my 3 400W HPS globes and it definately helps.
