I just ordered this light w/ 6 grow and 6 bloom bulbs. > http://www.htgsupply.com/viewproduct.asp?productID=50126

I am gonna be growing some auto blueberry from lowlife.. is it better to use a mix of grow/bloom bulbs at once or just use the grow bulbs for a 3 weeks then switch to all bloom bulbs when growing autoflowers ?

I use compact ho t-5 fixture from htg (with some modifications) Flowering seems to be working fine with a combo (1/2 and 1/2). They veg way better/quicker using just the 6500k veg bulbs though. I would use the 6500k for the first 3/4 wks and then switch to 1/2 and 1/2. Ive never grown autos though.
 
No problem:) This is actually my first time flowering with flouro. I use a 400w hps. However, I decided to turn my 2nd cab into a flower cab too, so here it goes! LOL So far things look just fine though. Scrog works really good with flouros (hid too), its something to look into.
 
yea I was using a digi 600hps but it was causing havoc on my neighborhoods internet modems.so im gonna try this T5 fixture. I was gonna just stop all together, but I figured i'd give it one more try.
 
T5's have their place. I use two of the New Wave 2-ft. HO 4 bulb T5's for flowering. I've had some pretty decent results. Here are pics of my Blueberry, White Widow, Strawberry Cough & Dutch Dragon grows.

Using all blue bulbs during veg will definitely keep the internodes very tight. Reds normally will help induce bloom, but that's a great question when autoflowering plants are involved - I wonder if anybody here knows that yet...
