growing for fun is just as fun
Im curious how only 2 bulbs would turn out.. lemme know what bulbs you choose and keep us posted. You'll have a unique minimalist setup
shit if you pull it off you'll have a whole army of stealth computer box growers praising you! you could prob stuff a 2ft fixture inside a big server shell.
Found out my browser didn't agree with rollitup, so I fixed my rediculous typo problem!
This doesn't mean much to you but fuck I'm stoked.
Smoking an awesome Sativa-high mystery nug, with some hash.
Goodmorning rollitup!
Bulbs;
I'm using;
1x 6500k
1x 2800k
Growing for fun is great, and you get free weed for it.
I wouldn't use 2bulb for life though..
Smallest fixture I found was like 26"x8"ish I think.
im with indica on im not looking for amazing resaults as i know im not going to get them with he 4 bulb i got even tho its a 4 foot i know i can get good resualts and thats all im lookin for out of this and msby as i get higher exp in growing ill want better but for now ill have good resaults for me
also with me haveing a spare 150 hps to use as a top light rite away i mite not even use it as i want to do just a t5 grow then my next ill use the 150hps with the same strain to realy see how it mskes a diffrence but due to the heat problem ill probly only use the 150 in the winter when it gets cooler at nite here
but im realy excited i got my light and fan today so when my tent gets here i can set up the garden
I do expect some nice top nugs though.. Fluorescent lighting can produce top quality meds, just not much of it, not very deep, and not as large.
I'm lucky (PNW) and summertime rarely peaks 90*F.
We do get ~100*F heatwaves though occasionally.
There is this type of high power 65W plant grow bulb that works great!. Google "65w plant grow" Mix it with one 6500K 65w for veg.
Sounds like a VHO? I use a 2' fixture though.
Check out, Zoo Med Florasun. Also, aquamedic Plantgrow. Both of these bulbs will replace a 6500K bulb. They have added red to them for photosynthesis. They are basically a 6500K bulb with Red added to them. So to answer your question, 1 Aquamedic Plant Grow, 1 KZ Fiji Purple. I haven't had noticeable results with the Fiji purple yet to justify the cost, so I've found that 1 Aquamedic Plantgrow and 1 6500K bulb is sufficient. The 6500K bulb provides the blue.
I'm going to check out these bulbs, I decided I'm just going to hunt down 1x Red Spectrum bulb,
and I'll have to decide on one.
Unless those Blue with Red bulbs are the shit.
ZooMed FloraSun;
"These new T5 lights provide more light output than T8s!5,000K High Intensity lamp to maximize the growth of live aquarium plants. Ideal for planted aquariums or terrariums. Long Lasting: Effective for up to 10,000 hours. Combine with Zoo Meds UltraSun for maximum full color viewing pleasure of your fish and plants. Distributes the light evenly across the water surface. Generates less heat as compared to metal halide lamps."
Just a 5000k? It really doesn't look like I want to invest in this bulb.. I have a 5000k 40w CFL laying around..
Actinics have a slightly lower wavelength than plants can use for photosynthesis. The KZ Fiji Purple, or ATI blue plus would be a better choice than an Actinic only bulb. However, a 6500K or 6700K would have plenty of blue. The ratio that plants use for blue to red is about 10% blue and 90% red. So don't get to carried away with the blue.
Thanks, great to know!
