Okay i took the UV light back after reading some comments on them.. I now have a daylight blue 60watt bulb, a warm white 60w energy saver, and a cool white 60w energy saver. How's it sound? i know the whites are 1,200 lumens together.
I've read that UV is helpful with THC production. http://www.weedfarmer.com/cannabis/thc_guide.php I think this is the article
If these bulbs have filaments then they won't work sorry. You need one of two types of lighting.<O</O <O HID lighting systems are expensive but put out far more lumens per watt of energy used. These are the best lights to use High pressure sodium- Expensive but the best all around light; not great in veg but the best in flowering, red spectrum. MH- A little less expensive then a hps system best lighting for veg state as its high in the blue spectrum.<O</O <O Florescent lights don't put out as many lumens as the HID lighting but can be put much much closer to the plant(only a couple inches away). For veg you will want cool white lights and for flowering you will want warm lights. Cool white has more of a blue spectrum and warm has a red.<O Floro tubes- Cheap but your going to need alot more of these to get the job done.<O Compact florescent(the swirly lights)- Cheap and your gona need a lot<O
Watch out with UV lights people. Those that are made to brown your skin will damage your plant's leaves beyond repair easy!
