Hi again,I'm at the begining of my second indoor,and the question is how is this bulb for vegetative period-is it OK or I need something in 6000K-6700K ? My plan is to use it for vegetation and to combine it during the flowering with my good old HPS Deluxe. Metal-Halide bulb 250 W/D HQI-T 250/D 250 W 20000 lm [FONT=HelveticaNeue-Condensed][SIZE=1][FONT=HelveticaNeue-Condensed][SIZE=1]80 lm/W[/SIZE][/FONT] [SIZE=1][FONT=HelveticaNeue-Condensed][FONT=HelveticaNeue-Condensed][SIZE=1][FONT=HelveticaNeue-Condensed][SIZE=1][B]colour temp: 5300 K[/B][/SIZE][/FONT] [SIZE=1][FONT=HelveticaNeue-Condensed][B]light color: daylight[/B][/FONT][/SIZE] [SIZE=1][FONT=HelveticaNeue-Condensed][URL="http://www.osram.com/_global/pdf/Professional/General_Lighting/High_pressure_discharge_lamps/106S04GB_HQI_range.pdf"][B]http://www.osram.com/_global/pdf/Professional/General_Lighting/High_pressure_discharge_lamps/106S04GB_HQI_range.pdf[/B][/URL][/FONT][/SIZE] [/SIZE][/FONT][/FONT][/SIZE][/SIZE][/FONT]
Should work fine. Higher up in the spectrum, the better from what I understand, but 5300K should work just fine Wouldn't hurt to grab a couple of Daylight CFLs (6500K) for supplemental lighting 'round the sides to even out the spectrum. In fact, it would probably help a lot
Yes,couple of CFL's will do the job,but I have 400HPS+250MH in a 3x3 ft. grow space and I dont want to mess with more light sources.
