Again, thank you Rusty. Your explanation of how ballasts work made sense, but it inspires another question: why then is it dangerous to run a lower watt lamp with a higher watt ballast? If the lamp can only draw 400 watts would running the lamp on a 600 watt ballast have any effect on either the...

Thank you Rusty Crutch, I do intend to use a metal halide for vegetative growth and a high pressure sodium for flowering. Given that natural sunlight is rated around 6500 degrees Kelvin, do you know or have you heard any hearsay about whether the greater amount of blue light from the solarMAX...

I would conduct an experiment...but conducting a good experiment requires significantly more time and money than I have at the moment...is there no one that would be able to answer my questions? Even partial answers, or answers to the other questions i.e. internode spacing, plant sex in response...

Thank you Smallsn, but I don't think you answered my question. I wanted information about why a Kelvin rating of between 5000-6500 degrees is preferable for vegetative growth? Why not have a lamp with a higher Kelvin rating? Would the higher proportion of light in the blue spectrum provide any...

Greetings and Salutations, I'm a novice grower, and I have some questions concerning lighting during vegetative growth. I would be immensely appreciative of any help that you could provide to my queries. My research has led me to believe that, after genetics, lighting is the most important...
