Hi Everyone!
Nube grower here. I've just started my first grow project in a 2.5x4 Ft closet. Got a switchable MH/HPS 400 W ballast. Want to use MH for the vegetative phase and HPS for flowering.
I read that phosynthesis requires light of 420 nm. So I am thinking anylight that focuses on that blue wavelength may give the most efficient output for photosynthesis and grwoth like a 6000K or higher MH. The bulb that came with my setup however is a 4000K bulb which seems to have more yellow and red 500-650 nm. I am wondering if this may be actually a bad selection for the vegging phase and I should go and get a 6000K MH bulb instead. I would appreciate any insight on this matter.
Cheers!
