Yes, get a warm white for flowering. Red is used for flowering and fruiting, blue, being higher energy, is used for growth.
Thats exactly my point, exacept the ratio is more like 1.5:1, not many orders.. Blue photons take more energy to create, therefore you can create more red photons with a given amount of energy than you can blue photons.. The photon/energy relationship follows E = h/wavelength (where h=6.6*10^34m^2*kg/s).."Basically you get more photons/energy with redder light"
Not true. Blue is higher energy by many orders over red light. Red is like 1.2 eV while blue is more like 10.2 eV
Read our growFAQ located at the top of our page.hi im a newbie here and just starting my first grow ive got some kit cos i had little go at it a while ago but now i got more room and time i can do it proply now, i was just wondering if any1 could help, i have a 125w e40 energy saving bulb red one and just wondering if i could use this for my veg stage and would i need a higher watt bulb for my mothering stage im trying to make it as cheap as possible on the electric, if any1 could help would be very greatfull thanks
i consider it very impostant... when its unimportant is when you use cfl's because lumens dnt add up you just get more points of light kinda like when you turn a radio real loud than turn the tv on it doesnt make the volume on the radio get louderif lumens and all that stuff isn't important why do they label that information all over the boxes?
Because they're for LIGHTING, not GROWING.if lumens and all that stuff isn't important why do they label that information all over the boxes?
DO NOT!I have a 400w MH ballast system .
I am just curious .. if I were to buy a 400w HPS sodium bulb and hook it to this same ballast , could that cause a problem ?
