Hi everyone,

My grow has been in veg for 4 weeks with 5600K CFL, When I put the 2700K in for flowering do I keep the 5600K? Newb question I know, but my first indoor grow.

Cheers

sure man if u got a way to run both do dual spectrum but use more 2700K then veg light
Thanks, What's the advantage of running dual spectrum over just 2700K ? I can run both but just want to understand the advantage of running both colour temps.

Cheers

btw way what u growing bro
Thanks man, I was reading and searching through RIU but sometimes I just want to ask the question, Since I'm new I don't really know anyone on here and sometimes is a good way of starting a conversation with people. I'm just growing from bag seed. Can't buy seeds where I live. I grew the last one outdoors but it's going into winter and wanted keep going through the year. Here's a pic of the plant at the moment, just hoping it's a female since only 1 out of 9 seeds germinated. I have no idea what strain it is.

Germinated them in wet paper towel, this seed popped in the first couple of days, then the root grew crazy long in one day so I immediately potted it. So far it's been begging for 4 weeks to the day under 130W 5600K CFL. Feeding with Canna Vega and using Cannazym.
Here's a pic from the same strain grown outdoor, this pic was taken about 4 weeks ago so the flowering has come along since then.

thats what i hoped u had how close u got them to plants ?
When I potted them about 6cm, then I backed that off to about 9cm, now it's about 12cm. Week 2-3 there wasn't much vertical growth so I extended the gap to 12cm and it seems like now they are stretching a little. It was getting quite bushy underneath.

Yeah, thats exactly what I've been doing. I FIM'd it 2 nights ago, waiting to see the results. Everything I have read says 4 weeks of vegging but since I FIM'd late I will have to veg it longer, what do you think?

I hoped out of 9 seeds I would get 3 or 4 and 1 of those would be female. Lucked out with only 1 germinating. Fucking hard to get good seeds where I am, can only keep trying. Cheers Man, will let you know how I go.
