Ffs, wedding in Poland sooner than I thought, by at least a month the Mrs tells me.

So I've got to set the Jack Frost and Afghan Kush off 12/12 now or else they won't be done in time.

Bugger all veg on em, the Kush are stretchy on the bottom.
Couple of oz a pop I reckon.

Need advice on these bulbs ive just put in for flower please , I've read loads on using specific spectrum bulbs individualy ,but some say great some say no, so should I carry on with duel spec or put these in ?, tried em last night, they run much cooler.
Should I just stick to my duel spec 400 & 600w ??????

Just wrote something then deleted like a tit lol red hps give me better yield then the dual spec but dual spec gave me less stretch I'm flower imo

I've read much about just using the red spec bulbs in flower Makka, some say less resin production & smaller yields ect , fuck knows, just have to try it I suppose.

Ye just gotta try mate tbh
And i did have a few variables when switched bulb tbh but I can Defo say they don't stretch as much I seen grow after grow same thing I think it's something to do with the blue spectrum
Shit I even read something about red nm light during lights out in flower this also ment to improve yield/thc but like u say wisdom just gotta try it.

I found best way I can vouch for for thc production is dropping your humidity 20 for last
2 weeks I tried both ways with n without n with low hum always have more thc

Alright wisdom everyone ignoring I Yeh? Wankers ain't they haha I'd say use your dual spec mate the son t's are good bulbs man and I think dual specs usually give better frost production and overall potency where red specs I think give a slightly bigger yield I'm not 100% on that tho

Personally mate I throw the cheapest HPS I can find in (generic Son-T), I'm on Lumii branded ones at the moment I got a couple of weeks back @ £12 a pop.

Technically all bulbs are dual spec, some may have an enhanced blue output but it's negligible to be honest and is mostly a marketing gimmick for the hydro industry.

I don't think it makes the slightest bit of difference if you use marketed dual-spec or regular hps in a small grow.

Getting other variables like PH and EC spot on for the strain your growing will make a shit load more difference imo than the very small wavelength differences in bulbs.
