https://www.rollitup.org/t/strips-or-qb.949746/ May be worth a peruse coco

The qb120 are pretty damn cheap ($29 on the link I supplied), don't require a heat sink or fans. Can even get away with no fixture. Strips are also cheap, but will req a little more electrical work and a fixture.

Blue for veg and red for flower. Or anything from 5000k upwards for vegeteation. And anything below 4000k for flower.

The K stands for Kelvin. Its a color temperature. The lower the number. The more red it is. And the higher the number. The more blue it is.

It's all part of the visible light spectrum.

I didn't use to see much stretch when switching bulbs to flower bulbs I'm not sure but I was advised against using them and told to go back to dual spectrum but would I be right in thinking there beneficial for high stretch flowering plants?

Frequency I'm such a little newby ?

Visible light is all part of the radio spectrum. This is anything from gamma radiation. To x rays. Which also includes microwaves, infrared and ultra violet.

You can use dual spectrum bulbs no problem. There's no harm having a bit more blue light in flower.

Having more blue light in flower increases resin production too as it's the plants way of 'fighting' uvb rays

Is that why you suggest the 6500k spectrum mo?

Correct
2700k is my flowering very dark yellow sun look about it
6500k is my veg very bright white light

Honestly bro I have read so much stuff on the net and in books and yeah all your words and explanations are way beyond my experiences and Evan if your words and explanations can make you 1 % more yield or flavour it's worth it but in all reality don't your bulbs take care of feeding the plant all them kelvins and frequencys so we don't have to think about it? It's my first day and I'm full of questions? It can get really complicated and seem like an extremely long process to get to a master grower especially if you got to start breaking down light bulb efficiency through tests fuc# me it will take more than a lifetime to get it all in your head no? If I gotta learn it then I will but honestly when you enter your grow area are you taking into consideration all these factors? I am open to understanding and I'm already thinking to my self do some strains respond differently to different levels of kelvin considering some strains are from completely different continents and have different levels of sun power etc?

 

[ruby fruit]

What's another good auto yeilder I wanna order some royal queen autos an another auto strain that yeilds nice with nice potent shit.

Royal queen id say go northern lights
I see quite a few different gd yields from dutch passion blue mazar,star ryders etc

 

[ruby fruit]

Ok so it's beyond my knowledge but I will call out for kelvin when I wet down my girls next time in case he's about. No sorry seriously so is kelvin something to do with blue spectrum less for flower more for veg?

Example
2700k flowering
6500k veg

 

[ruby fruit]

Is that why you suggest the 6500k spectrum mo?

So maybe mo.when I take my 4 veg bulbs out and put the flowering ones.in I could leave one veg one on the outside for a 3/1 bulb ratio ?

 

[Jimmy the vest uk]

Don't you mean 6.5k watts and 4K watts it's my first day I'm trying to get with it

Ruby fruit you got loads of likes and high profile shi# and you keep liking my comments

Example
2700k flowering
6500k veg

yeah lower blue for flower higher red bro help me out what's to worry about don't your bulbs worry about all that for you or are you on about dimmer ballasts and stuff to accommodate choosy strains and optimise flower times Or something I'm struggling to grip what's important ?

I'm not an indoor grower as such bro I just use T5s which was for my seedlings only to start with
No ballast n crap for my T5 I just run a small tent with small fan thats it and get these sort of plants from it ...
Cheap set up jimmy cost me something like 150 bucks for tent and light
U ain't gonna grow a money tree in this size tent but you can have some fun
I'm an outdoor grower first and foremost...
