Do 6500k t5 bulbs give a full spectrum? do they have red in it? Im not really understanding how the plant takes in light. I read 6500k for vegging and the warm ones for flowering or you could mix em. I have 4x 3500k ones right now? are these flat out useless? I didn't know what I was doing when I got them. I plan on maybe buying 4 new ones online. They have the two mentioned above and at the hydro store they have these "full spectrum ones" which I don't know what color temp they are.
I was thinking of buying two hot 3000k HO and two cold 6500k HO, but are "full spectrum" ones better? they cost double the price. Are my 3500k ones sufficient for flowering right now.
On a side note, to all the people looking for fast ph issue solutions. Dont dick around with home made bullshit. I bought some "Ph minus" today and a single drop made a gallon go from 7 to 5.5. was awesome. I poured about 10 oz. out and topped it off with fresh 7.0 water and was at a solid 6.5. Now I was just messing around to see how it affects water. My soil is steady 7.0. What ph water do I need to use in order to make the soil steady at 6.5? is the answer 6.5 ph water? or does the water need to be even lower ph to bring the soil's ph down from 7?
