Veg and Flower simultaneously on one bulb.

led is just a headache in my opinion, unless each diode is individually wired, if one goes out all the diodes along that strip go out. and then what, you gotta send your light in for repair? Ceramic Metal Halide is nice because it stays cooler. with just a lil fan i have temps of 75 degrees and 60-70% humidity. the company i order bulbs from is only company to pre burn every bulb, and theyre warrantied for 18 months. very handy.

Another Bmeat......Thinks he knows it all and believes everything hes told...

-snip- i dunno too much about the technical side of lumens or 4-5k, 10k etc... what i can tell you is that you should look into alternating lights. if you've seen any of the heath robinson style setups with multiple lights hanging next to (not above) the plants, people do some amazing things have one set of lights stay on the full 12 hours, and having 1 extra set of lights that comes on for the first 6 of those twelve hours on one side of the plant, and another set of lights hanging directly opposite that the other side of the plant that come on for the last 6 of 12 hours. helps to stimulate auxins like a mofo and ive been wanting to experiment with a single plant cfl setup in my fireplace.

Ok, you've officially been smoking something... and I highly suspect it's lead paint chips. Why do I say that you ask? Let's break it down. Simply put: You don't understand lumens, yet you're recommending alternating lights? Pretty much to stimulate auxins? Do you understand what auxins are and how they affect the plant if they're not balanced? Will educate you so you don't google it and copy/paste a reply. Auxin imbalance(see extremely high spiking) causes hermaphroditism.. especially when you've listed no other way to control 6-BAP, and that doesn't even include changes to Mg, Ca, Zn.. or anything else tied to it. I know you're not trying to work with genetics when you mentioned this, as you didn't mention the use of GA, ratios.. and I highly doubt you're qualified to instruct anyone on genetics if you don't know at least basic lighting values... especially that 'K' thing you mention (tip: it's Kelvin) which has nothing to do with lumens. K = Kelvin = color temp... Lumens = brightness output

Op were you wanting to discuss flowering and veging with same light do to how the set-up is and not the type of light itsself?

i was wondering that originally. But this guy has been talking about the light and trolling instead of asking about the set up. Which is a bad idea.....But maybe he should just do it if hes so set on it. And see how his plants turn out.....

I really liked the strain of the plant up there ^.. figured we could cross it with something that allows a much wider pH range, allow it to be drowned or deprived of water.. and make the plant almost foolproof.. then market it with this retarded light system, for only 399.99 (includes 10 seeds) hahahahahaha

I wanna see a journal...so this kid growing in a closet in mom and dads house can blow experienced growers away with his 400 watt total flowering and veg room.....


To OP its a very very bad idea to have one light and one room to veg and flower at the same time. It would make much more sense to just use CFL in a different room.

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA........I cant wait till the oP gets back on and sees how many people know he is wrong.
