Thanks brother, I have not been here or any were on the net since 2010. This is were I started, had so much to learn still and so many more trials and tribulations, that have helped to make us stronger like so many of you. Can't stay hiding anymore, fear is the worse of all Cripplers. Hid is the only way to go. People will ask, how many bulbs have you tried rev? Most all and especially the expensive ones, lol. I studied the common sense side of bulbs and their spectrums and seen what worked best not with expensive equipment and light and par and lumen meters...geez really, lol. You use enough bulbs, you see what your plants do when grown with them and then you simply correlate that to the spectrums the bulbs put out that the plants liked and what they had in common. Well after doing this with all the best bulbs, you see that it is peaks at certain nanometers, that mean something and the cheap Chinese bulbs like plantmax and others do a better job and standard ge, Phillips,Sylvania are probably still the best as far as easily available. In lamens terms, you don't want a bulb that puts out a big smudge of blue a big smudge of red and a peak in orange and green. You want a bulb that the spectrum looks more like a heart monitor at right peaks. Cannabis has to go through three stages of cannabinoids ripening, that most have never seen or even aware of. Three color changes and chemical changes: THc, first stage, cbd, second stage, CBN.cbg, third stage until it truly dies. The experts have no clue of the language I'm speaking...none. The more red in the spectrum my brother, the more it makes the tree want to live and why HP's will not ripen, not even the added blue and there's no uva/uvb and most powdery mildew out here on the west coast is caused by HP's. Try switching to hid and watch, I tell brothers and sisters. Were cannabis grows most potent, there is not only more uva/uvb but also much more blue in the suns spectrum, which helps kill the trees for cannabinoids to ripen. Nobody let's it go anymore, what has happened to the truth? Thanks love of money and prideful prestige, chosen by those who love it! If they want a bulb that would be perfect for cannabis , here it is..high uva/uvb, high peaks at 420-480 nanometers blue, large peak at green, small peak orange/yellow and a peak at 590 and 630 and mid peak at 735. At least 70% blue and 12000k. More blue, the faster the ripening also....to a point.Better to veg however under 4100k. Right now the Hamilton beach 14000k is the best flowering bulb available for cannabis and their american still as far as I know, keep it at home. No I don't get kickbacks, lol. Makes your grow room look like a UFO and will produce fruit that would shut down the cannabis cup for a day. These boys would need three days to build a tolerance to go past one or two hits of properly ripened Sativa's or cripi. I've been here over a year and I've smoked what everyone claimed was the best, grown by the" best." I'll reserve for now, let's just say that. As old info, becomes new info again, I can only hope it will be embraced as in the past, it hasn't been and then they just want to skin you for telling them the truth, lol maybe not this time. One love, rev.thenatural
