Hi, im currently setting up a grow tent and will be using envirolites. Ive got 1 200w red & 1 125w Red also the same but in the blue spectrum. Would anybody recommend using a mix of the red and blue lights in the veg and flowering cycles or keep the 2 red for flowering and 2 blue of vegging ??
Also I aiming to use only 2 lamps at a time.
Cheers and any help would be great !!

Peace out :)

Thanks for the quick reply. I'lle roll with both blues for the veg then. What about if i stuck the 200w red and 200w blue in together ??/
Also im thinking about going down the hps route @ a later date but its a heat & space factor

in spring when plants vegg outside, the light the sun gives is blue.
then in summer the the sun gives out red spec.
dont give both specs red/blue for vegg maybe both for 12/12.

Well im going to go with 2 blue (1 @ 200, 1 @125) lamps for veg and then try 1 red @ 200 and 1 blue @ 200 flowering. Hopefully this will cover all bases when flowering

I have a red 200W and a blue 125W. When vegging, those under the blue one grew much stockier, now the ones under the red are growing buds faster. It makes a big difference, I'm gonna get another red one soon stick that on the flowering plants and make a veg room for my next grow with the blue one!
