Is 2100K good for flowering?

2100K red-orange spectrum is used through the vegetative, flowering and fruiting stages, the most energy-efficient sources of indoor lighting and extends the growing season. The yellow spectral output makes them optimal for flowering.

When should I switch to flowering bulbs?

In general it’s best to move bulbs right after they go dormant. The best time to dig up spring-flowering bulbs, such as your daffodils, is about six weeks after they finish blooming. At this point the foliage will have died back (if it hasn’t, wait longer) but you can still see it, which makes locating the bulb easy.

Should I use both veg and bloom switches for flowering?

We recommend starting with just the VEG switch, and turning on the bloom switch as well at the first sign of pre-flowering. We do have customers who run the bloom switch throughout VEG as well. I would recommend experimenting and finding the light recipe that works best for you!

Is 3000K good for flowering?

For flowering, you want lower color temperatures, i.e. warmer light that contains more red spectrum light. Color temperatures of 2700K and 3000K are ideal for flowering.

What is the best color spectrum for flowering growth?

Red radiation (around 700nm) is considered most efficient at driving photosynthesis – especially in the flowering stage for biomass growth (important to Cannabis growers). Blue light is essential for both the vegetative and flowering stages of plant growth, but mainly for establishing vegetative and structural growth.

Is 3000K or 3500K better for flowering?

For flowering, you want lower color temperatures, i.e. warmer light that contains more red spectrum light. Color temperatures of 2700K and 3000K are ideal for flowering. 3500K works well, too. In fact, if you are using the light for every stage, you may want a light that is around 3500K to 4000K.

How tall should an indica be before flowering?

This method is usually employed with indica strains that are packed tightly together in the grow space. When using this method, plants should be flowered when they reach a height of between 15–30cm.
