... it all depends on the phenotypes, which will reveal themselves more and more over time.
really? I didn't think that the stems had anything to do with the color of the bud. my plant thats flowering right now has mostly purple stems and the bud isnt anywhere close to purple...if the stems start turning purple there is a good chance you will get purple buds... though my purple kush has all completely green stems and leaves, and white hairs.. with nice purple Calyxes!
you dont have to worry about that with a hps thats why im thinkin of getting a 150 hps to start my new babys with i already got 8 under my 400 and they are big.i need to get another light before i start my new babes thoA look at their website shows that the 65w bulb produces only 4500 lumens. We tested them and can agree with 4500 lumens." just thought that was interesting since these are exactly what i bought lol. so while i thought i was running 13,650 lumens, it was really only 9,000. but now i added the CFLs at 1300 a piece which gives me 14,200. just about 3,500 per sq foot
Thats just a commonality between purple buds. All of my purple strains have purple stems, accept for the kush as I mentioned, which is a different strain with different phenotypes, thats what it all comes down to...
yes im aware of that lol. i was just talking about CFLs. but i wouldnt recommend using only hps for vegging... why not get 150 mh?
ahh gotcha. well we shall find out in a couple months. what about my blueberry strains? will they have blue stems haha
.... I wish!
Very interesting! I have a LOA flourex 65w (not in use).also was reading through my cervantes bible last night and came across this that people should know if theyre using these kinda flood lights that i am... "Beware of manufacturer reseller web sites making outrageous claims about CFL performance. The most common exaggerated claim is found at the Lights of America site about the 65w Florex security lights. The package claims the lamp produces 6825 lumens, but an asterisk directs you to the bottom of the box and explains that these are "brightness lumens" not "photometric lumens" A look at their website shows that the 65w bulb produces only 4500 lumens. We tested them and can agree with 4500 lumens." just thought that was interesting since these are exactly what i bought lol. so while i thought i was running 13,650 lumens, it was really only 9,000. but now i added the CFLs at 1300 a piece which gives me 14,200. just about 3,500 per sq foot
I saw something where the guy had a light meter read the same. Can't find it now. At the time there were several posts by the guys who hate cfls on this topic. Now all I can find is ceestyle's sticky on adding up lumens. His show a light meter with an increase in Lux. Since as usual I really don't know, I edited my post.
yup that would work. these cfls are too hot anyway. just went in and checked temps up to 90
