I've very successfully used a combination of five 6500k lights and two 2700k bulbs in my little [3 square feet] box for flowering. I just put some new plants in and switched out three of the bulbs, so now I have five 2700k bulbs and two 6500k bulbs. The strain and everything else is the same...
Thanks for the quick response. So you think I should use ALL 2700k bulbs for flowering? The 6500k's seem to provide much more intense light, which I thought was needed for good penetration and bud density. No way I'd go for HPS -- I'm scared of the heat and fire risk. Lots of busts around here...
Just trying to be clear and precise. These are weeds and will grow well under lots of conditions, I'm sure. But these have been my efforts to try and experiment and maximize my results as far as spiciness and weight.
