So umm where is it in this forum you find real growers using halogen lights?
Halogen lights are NOT for growing, complete waste of power and they throw out way too much heat. You can get seeds to germ and some sprouts sure (seeds will germ in 100% darkness, done it)
halogen doesnt produce usable light for plants, it's clear/yellow, vegging plants need blue light mostly which is 5000-7000 range.
After reading the whole thread and all Griz don;t resort to name calling Bud, especially if you want me to roll in as backup.
I dont do name calling or incurage it, I wanted to make that clear, but ALSO it is BS to tell someone to ignore a grower that has experience under him.
Halogen lights blow for growing, toss it and opt for CFLs, HPS, or MH
