Can I Flower With This Light?

[Filipino Hooker]

Ok so this is my first grow and its been about 1 1/2 months since sprout. After battling gray mold, powdery mildew, root rot, and root lockout, I think I am finally ready to flower these babies. The only problem I think I have is that my lighting is 3 4' cool white fluoros, 1 4' warm fluoro, and a 36 watt warm cfl. I know I am supposed to use warmer light spectrum for flowering so will my lights work to flower?

Honestly I would wait to flower but my closet space is just too small...

look the best i can do is get another fluoro. I need to know if it will work to flower and what results... dont need any opinions on what kind of light I should use cuz I already got fluoros.

you asked i gave answer. HPS is the flower light. you can veg with flouros. not good for the buds.

You could probably find some 4' warm light flouro tubes and swap them into there but you probably wouldn't have enough watts. I would agree with indianaman and say that HPS is the perfect solution and once you get that you will never need to mess around with lights again. But I dont have an HPS either. I have a few warm flood lights/CFLs laying around that i'll put into my grow room after veg. I use 3 lights at a time. You could try that but i'm no expert.

i'm getting 2 400 wattHPS reflector to reflector you can kind of see the reflector. this is the only plant i haven't killed yet, i'm growing it until my super lemon haze and alaskan ice show up. 3 week old pic tho.

wait the plant is only 3 weeks old or 3 weeks after you started flowering?

if your plants are dying... I can recommend using h2o2, or hydrogen peroxide. Its a miracle for growers.

Is it space or price or heat or what that is why you want or think you need to stick with fluorescent lights? Not to be to nosey but you did ask and while you did not get the answer you wanted you did get the best advice so maybe you can use something you think you can’t and if you are willing to say why you want or think you need to stick with fluorescent lights someone might be able to explain why you don’t need to, if it is not just a cost issue, and in the end you will be WAY BETTER OFF if you can switch lighting.

 

[Filipino Hooker]

...no. I have to use fluoros. Yes part of it is cost and there are other reasons. Will somebody please answer my question? This is getting kinda old with everyone telling me to get hps. If it was up to me I would use MH for veg and HPS for flower but its not...

WILL MY PLANTS FLOWER WITH THE 3 40 WATT COOL FLUOROS, THE ONE 40 WATT WARM FLUORO, AND THE WARM 36 WATT CFL???

If so, then will the buds be decent?

PS: I simply dont have access to any other light source right now.

 

[indianaman]

switch to 12-12 and they will flower. if you have the internet, you have access to the HPS. you can flower with any light, HPS is better though.
