Lighting Sunmaster Full Nova and Hortilux Blue Bulbs

[MadDoctor]

Has anyone tried one of these 2 new full spectrum bulbs? They seem to really be close to be full spectrum.

I wonder if they are good for veg only or for the whole grow.

6000K is stillpretty much in the blue spec so I don't consider these bulbs to be full spectrum.You can use them for the entire grow but I would try and get a bulb closer to 3000 or 3500 in the red spectrum for the flower stage.

Yes but if you look at the graphs they got more red and far red than normal HPS bulbs.

With Full Spectrum lamps, nevermind the kelvin range focus more on the spectral graph (thus labeling "Full Spectrum". With a normal metal halide lamp a kelvin range of 5k to 7.5K is used for vegetation. When looking at those graphs notice the focus light spectrum is in the low nanometer range promoting the "veg stage". With out explaining the full details know that "Full Spectrum Lamps" are for Veg thru Bloom just change out your light hours (18 on 6 off Veg and 12 and 12 for bloom)


Notice the vast range going even further into the higher numbers on the nanometer range? Full Spectrum Lamps give your plants alot more usable light (PAR) than your 2 lamps (Veg and Bloom ) lamps

So have you tried either of these lamps yet?
