Figure out your lumens. It is possible to flower in blues. Some studies show that plants flowered in blue light, may take a longer flower period...the buds not as dense and large but twice as crystallized. DOOOIT man. Just make sure you have enough lumens.

there wont actually be headlights hanging from my ceiling hahaha just the bulbs. same a if i used any other light so it wont be concentrated. the set i have is 55w 8000k temp bulbs. Now adays they even make them at a color temp that makes them red and purple so would that be better for flowering?

also i dont understand how someone could say dont bother its a waist of money, for one i have them already! no money spent. its an experiment. If no one ever did that we would all be ignorant. these fukers are bright! Also hooking them up wouldnt be hard. my idea was a small car battery with a trickle charger attached and all that together isnt very big. im not going for stealth so i dont care.

One day, a guy got real tired of his outdoor crop getting ganked, bugs eating them, deer pissing on them and chowing on them as well, and worring about those pesky fuckin' helicopters.
So he says to his buddy "Ya know, I could probably rig up one of those really bright street lights and maybe grow my dope indoors where it's safer."
The guys friends all laughed at him, called him stupid for even thinking that he could do something like that.




Man am I glad he didn't listen to them!!!!!!!!

The heat generated from a headlight is substantial. Try putting your hand in front of one hooked up, it will probably burn you within 30 seconds.

My 150w HPS puts out as much heat as 1 auto bulb, 15000 lumens vs 3000 lumens, I am not saying that it cannot be done, I am just saying with the amount of bulbs you would need, you would put off more heat that a real HID system.
