what he said.....or one of thesehave you tried green lighting? a simple green party bulb you can get for $1 or $2 just about anywhere will work fine for that.
you CANT have light during off hrs....unless it green like ^^^^said.... u could try using it additionally during ur on hrs thonobody is curious to see if it could potentially improve yield and bud quality^?
Hello everyone this is my first post. Been gardening on and off for fifteen yrs or so. I started out by reading Ed Rosenthal and many other books. I've never needed to post because the "search" works so well.
Here's the story I have a small chamber for flowering that always runs 12/12 it has a 90w led UFO surrounded by 12x 26w CFLs. Recently the plants that that were going in were looking a little sad so I decided they needed a bit more vegging. I didn't want much change in electric usage so I left the CFLs on 12/12 but only put 8x 6500k in. Then just plugged the UFO in so it would be on for 24/7.
Guess what? Flowers!! How is this possible? I remember reading in one of those books that a clock display in the same room was enough light to keep them from flowering.
Anyone have any experience with this? For now I put back all 12) 2700k CFLs back in but left the UFO on 24hr/day. Would this mean a higher yield because photosynthesis is always going on? Or maybe hurt density of the flowers.
Any thoughts guys?
