what lighting do you prefer for veg cycle, 1000w sodium or flouro T54?
10000k is an aquarium bulb.
Everything I've read says they are not good for weed. A few made some outlandish claims which everybody said was bullshit. One guy said it burnt his plants. I personally don't know,,,but I would stick with 6500k.
The 10,000k bulbs are actually used for coral and aquatic plants. It has a lot to do with the light traveling through the water to reach the plants and animals.
There is a certain amount of conjecture/belief that the higher frequency bulbs and UV bulbs cause MJ to produce more resin to protect themselves. I have found that when I give my plants enough light and keep all of the needs met so that the plants are happy, I get plenty of potency from my plants. I use 6500k for veg and HPS for flower and I haven't had any patients say "man if this was just a little more potent it would right". So far they all say "man this is the best I have ever had".
I'm not saying that to pat my own shoulder, but to say that many of the more "gimmicky" items are not necessary to get great, satisfying results. I am using pretty standard supplies, and I try to just keep the plants as happy as possible. It may sound a little silly or even ** but when I go into my flower space and look at my plants, I can sense them smiling and luxuriating in their homes. If there is an issue, I can feel them frowning and looking like they don't feel good. It is like having children that can't talk. You learn to recognize when they don't feel good and when they are happy and feeling well.
LOL, actually I hadn't even noticed the more emotional side of that :doh: I was speaking more clinically to give an analogy of personifying the plants to describe the sense that I have with my plants. I feel like that is something that most growers can learn over time and experience. lol
