yo glad to see the thread is back up again. I liked the other one but i'm not comfortable with change. So I've got a question for the A Team. I've f'n had my 1000watt light go off 3 times or more now. :wall: Once my surge protector went out, another time i accidently bumped into the outlet and unplugged it, another time i unplugged it accidently cause i thought it was a different cord. :eyesmoke: I forsee this shit happening to me again, at least once more cause i'm like that. :finger: I'm wondering if i setup a 50 watt incandescent bulb or something on a different outlet on the same cycle would it keep the light cycle steady should the 1000 watt go off until i'm able to get it back on again?

PS. I just harvested 9 plants today. Haven't weighed them all but one of the bigger colas weighed 3 ounces wet!!! It was as tall as a 5 gallon water jug and fat!

no... thats not a good idea.... better off running fluorescent tubes and cfl's like I plan on doing...... though I never bump into ballast, plugs etc. I almost never go over there cept to plug in, unplug, and check the temp of the ballast, always careful of equipment, its the plants lifeline, ;)

how many watts additional are you putting in? I"m assuming your main light is an HPS so your adding some blue spectrum lighting with the CFLs?

Yes Im mixing spectrum, but mixing with the 4' tube fluorescent bulbs (x8=240W) + 8 24w CFLs in addition to 1000W HPS covering a 7x7x 8 (4 1/2 usable) space. journal is in my sig. I haven't added the fluorescent lights yet, I won't need them for a little while, :)

whats the point of adding the blue spectrum? I know when vegging its better because it promotes bush, but with a SOG op we want to minimalize the bush growth. Does it have some other benefit?

7x7 is a pretty good sized area.... Im going to have shelves around my SOG ebb&flow table table is 42"x36" side shelving for larger plants with soil is 12" wide, with just enough space to maneuver around the room to all the plants (10") all 3' off the ground..... there is pics in previous page. There is going to be 10-15 5 gallon pots rimming the ebba & flow table..... baked tired.....

Fluorescent lights: Fluorescents are a lot more useful than incandescents. Their efficient enough, and cheaper than HID lights. Compact fluorescent tubes are popular with growers because of their good output to size ratio. Compared to standard 4' tubes, compact fluorescent bulbs are smaller, and more can fit into a given area. Fluorescents are good for small grows on a tight budget, and for novice growers, since they do not require any special sort of wiring or understanding of the necessary bulbs for a given fixture, and are very widely available.
Fluorescent lights come in many different Kelvin ratings; often the spectrums are labeled on packaging as being 'cool white' or 'warm white.' Cool white is more blue, and is good for the vegetative stages of growth, and warm white light is more orange or reddish, and is best for the flowering stage.

the only use for fluorescent lighting is for clones. do not use crap cfl for flowering.

Dude, read discussion..... was asked what good supplemental lighting would be to add, in the even the 1000W HPS GOES OUT, to continue light cycle so its uninterupted. I never suggested flowering under just fluorescent light.... though people do, and they get bomb results...... (irrefutable) :peace:
