blue light for finishing

many of you are probably aware of the 6000K and 10000K MHs they sell for finishing

http://solis-tek.com/solistek-1000w-mh-10k-finisher-se-lamp.html

is it just the uv component that is active, or does the blue spectrum affect finishing as well? in other words could we get a similar effect with 6500k or royal blue maybe in combination with some agrosun or reptile bulbs

I should be getting a sample CLU058 3618 in 6500k soon. I might try swapping out a light to finish with on this next run.

ive got two of those 6500Ks mounted on active heatsinks that i am going to replace veg rig with, ive got 320h-c2800s on the way to fire them at 319W each

240h-c2100 is good for a single cob at 250W

BEAST MODE FTW

I only run them on the 240-2100. That keeps my efficacy over 40% (43% 3500k).
That is going to be an intense veg light, I know, I have a friend using one right now. It is running 2 Luna 300 and 2 320 watt drivers and dimmed down it is still covering more than a 6'x6'.

I have a dual cxa-3070 3000k light with a 26w 5000k rigged up between the two. I planned on running the 5000k during the middle 4 hours of 12/12 towards the end of flowering on this run. It will be over a single plant in an 11"x20" cabinet. I don't have any results with it yet but am curious to see if it helps.

im replacing T5s so running them hard like that is still a win, relatively

and yeah i want to do it cause i can

if you watch that youtube video of the grove in vegas showing off the heliospectra, the head grower says that he like to run far red for the last few weeks and then deep blue to finish them off.

i sent a question to him re: how long he runs the deep blues, but the only response i got was to be added to their mailing list. thanks!

i'm curious what the theory is as well for the blues

i run UVB all grow so i've got that covered.
