That's a good veg start set up.

around 6500k for vef

around 2600k for flower

where the am I going to get the much bulbage for flowering and where and how much is that going to be and I mean where can I get it lol

and you think that one big bulb will be good for 2 plants?

Where the hell am i I had know idea they were the wrong spectrum, ive looked at those bulbs quite a few times and they were at least ok. You found out the light spectrum from sylvania's site correct?

what? dude im just wondering where the hell am I supposed to get a 2600k lumen wait I am supposed to get lower lumens for florwering?

??????????????? lol

I had the chick @ my local hydro store look it up on line. The spectrum is off (dont have it here, ya can find it, I'm sure), and the Lumens are low (same as b4)

http://www.hydroponics.net/i/131469 $77.95 400 watt mh conversion

and

http://www.hydroponics.net/i/131446 $71.95 430 watt hps

I use these, if some one knows better prices that would be cool.

OK, y'all may be using the GROW bulb by sylv, but thats not wat he has!
Heres the spectrum on the 1 he WANTS, not the 1 he has. PLEASE DO NOT SAY I DO NOT KNOW WAT IM TALKIN ABOUT. If I speak and say I KNOW, then I know

Is that the spec? Those are good flower colors with some green for the human eye to see the plant.

this is the spec for

for this one

NO! The specs I gave are NOT for that light! I know that they are good specs, they are for Sylvs. grow light!

a 430 son agro is about the best small bulb out there in my opinion, its got the output of a hps with a enhanced blue spec, thats what i use for veg, you see plants use much more red light than blue so if you compare a plants color response against the light of a halide you will see that it only uses about half the blue light, a lot of bulbs have the little graph im talking about right on their site

The light that ya are referring to IS sylvania, and it is the complete WRONG light spectrum fer growing
