Ok cheers. Suppose going from 3k veg to 3k flower would also reduce stretch a little?.
main issue people have with strains like Trainwreck for example is
if you veg @4000k or 5000k or bluer then flower @ 3000k or redder
well
think stems huge buds, lots of support needed
add some more red to the veg and you get a less bushy plant but with thicker stems, seaweed and such can make the plants bushy
So unless you need the extra blues for mold issues or the redder lamp makes your veg too hot
it`s a 2m x 1.2m veg area 2m H, normally got 6 to 10 teens in there a mum or 3 and clones and seeds shooting off.
I did find using 600/1000w hps`s for veg had their uses
Swapped over to a 600mh @ 400w when my last hps lamp blew, then set up a 300w induction, best veg light I`ve used so far 300w 5000k induction with a "300w" (150w draw) blue heavy led panel
the led was in there the whole time so got used with the hps and such
but 5000k cobs veg up a nice plant just can`t be asked to make 5 to 8 units to run the veg and the induction lamp was £30 and I`ve let to see anything veg better than tube lights
The large leaves you get from tube lights, is it the extra uv or xrays they give off or what ?
cmh 5000k veggies nice too but same issues as hps/mh bare bulb gets hot fire risk, cooled hood can be a hassle......
