What type of bulb are you using to flower? I know it's an HPS, but what kind?

I'm getting ready to flower and I'm not sure what bulb to get. Should I get something that has both color spectrums? Or should I get one that says it has more red?

im using the same one that came with the HTG 400w kit but u can always too go to home depot ....they carry 400w hps bulbs for very cheap i think about 20-30 bux or so for a philips or sylvania type ...it totally depends on you if u wanna go both blue/red spec .....i perfer more red for flowering rather than mixin in some blue but there are some people who mix both and claim it benefit the plants but i havent tried it myself to back it up..........:joint:

Yea that's what I've gathered from reading everyones journals here at RIU. I'm a little strapped for cash right now so I think I might go and pick up one of those cheap ones at Lowes or HD.

I was in Lowes Friday night and I think they carry those Sylvania ones. It was like 29 bucks or something.

I say go with 20/4. I have some seedlings going right now that had 24hr light for the first 2 weeks but when I switched them to 20/4 they seemed to really take off. It's just my opinion but I think giving them a small dark period instead of 24hr light does something good for them, at least it seemed to do something good for mine.

Oh and 18/7 is 25 hrs...lol

I don't understand why people say good luck before a grow, and after a successful harvest you might hear someone say damn your lucky. How much luck is actually involved in growing pot???

I say this and then I'll be the first one to say good luck to someone starting a new grow...lol

Dude!

What a beautiful harvest! I got me some Hindu Kush seeds from Sensi that I am waiting to start. I am anxious to get a smoke report.

Congrats!

congrats man, those pics are beutiful. ordered some HK seed from nirvana a bit back, and got my package with out the seeds, broke my heart. i finally see the small package from the netherlands. bounce into my house giddy. open it up and find everything BUT seeds. so im still growin bagseed atm. and to make things worse i was cleanin up a week ago and put my seeds up somewhere and i cant remember where.. so now im seedless. it was just bagseed but it was REALLY good bag seed. anyway that looks great. im considering gettin some hps as is but that pushes me closer to it.

Ery
