Sounds perfect for vegging. Suggest adding just 1 2700K for each 3 6500K lights used. Just a suggestion. And Kelvin is a fixed rating. Multiple bulbs 6500K = 6500K. Whether 1 or 1000 of them.

So your suggesting to add one more bulb ?

Finaly I am on somewat of the right track I been braking my head to understand all this over the last week. Never though I would be so intrestead in gardens and flowers

The ratio of bulbs for vegging, 1x 2700k for every 3x 6500k

Add one "red" bulb for better overall plant development. For every 3 bulbs that are 6500K add one 2700K. Those are very easy to find anyplace bulbs are sold, unlike the 6500K.

6500K presents a spectrum more like Spring and early summer.

2700K presents more like mid-to-late summer and early Fall.

When your flowering starts then you reverse the lighting. More 2700K with a little 6500K. Many use the bulbs in a 3:1 ratio.

Ok let me brake it down. Am I correct ? Veg -3 bulbs 6500k + 1 bulb 2700k this will equal more blue spectrum Flowering - 3 bulbs 2700k + 6500k this will equal more red

ok so i end up doing 4 bulb and 1 bulb 2700 . for how long should i veg ? what is the avrage time frame for veg stage ? thank you all for your help

 

[tusseltussel]

no avrg time frame. the hight of your room and how patient you are dictate how long to veg. I veg 2+ months but for a first run 4 weeks is ok. I take clones in veg and veg them while the first plant is flowering. a plant can tripple in size when switched to flower so hight of room -18" for light is how high you want to end up so veg until your plant is 1 third that hight

Just another 22,500 lumens and you have met the reccomended amount of light for plants to flourish.
