Veg and Flower simultaneously on one bulb.

Someone I know, may or may not have come up with idea they effectively could veg and flower simultaneously with one bulb.


obviously i had my doubts.


Anyway, they may have built a frame which their reflector hangs from. Bulb is a 400w Ceramic Metal Halide (these bulbs are great for veg AND flower stages)

So there's a frame, and the light hangs from it, and on two sides there are shelves that hang pretty close to the light, these shelves have the veg plants.
During twelve hours of the twenty hour light cycle necessary to veg, a curtain which separates the flowering plants is drawn back. the frame has wheels on it, so the the light-frame with the vegging plants attached is pushed by hand, and simply rolls over top the flowering plants. twelve hours later, the frame is rolled back into its resting position, the curtain is setup to shade the flowering plants, and then vegging plants get an additional 8 hours of light before its sleepy time.

certainly merits some consideration, no?

Do you have any pics. This doesnt sound that sufficient...and growing and flowering on one MH wouldnt work. You need HPS or CFL that are under the 3000k light spectrum. Mh bulbs are above 6000K. So no this wont work....

Being CERAMIC doesnt make a difference. The bulb will still only be one spectrum, cool light 6000K, or warm light 3000K. Either way, its not full spectrum. It will only be good for one of the two, flowering, or veg. Whatever the spectrum is, thats what it will be able to be used for. If it is a full spectrum bulb, its still wont be near as good and getting 2 diff. bulbs. ONe for veg. one for flower.

Think about it man, if this bulb is only 35$, how can it be any better than a regular MH bulb...
Let him be dumb and buy them. MJ doesnt grow well at all in the 4k spectrum of light. To the OP, do some freaking research on lighting before running your mouth....

Have you used full spectrum bulbs?

Was wondering if they are any good... I've seen some nice cheap CFLs that are "Full spectrum" though they state their temp is 5500k or something specific... how does that work...lol

I havent in my grows. My cuz uses (full spec) MH. Always gets airy, popcorn style bud on them. And its not that great of a high.....Hes my last resort when i need weed...

Im guessing the same with the cfls as weed hate 4k to 5k spectrum. and needs to be under 3k to get any decent bud in flower.
