Was wondering if anyone has used a red flourescant to flower over a single mature plant, i'm interested in the result as i used a blue for one mother with great results but im wondering if it would be any good

Its generally advised to use red for flower mate.

Yeah......i know this was only saying i have used a blue one with good results on a mother (veg) but i'm sceptical about buying a red as i think it will be no good, i'm just trying to get my costs down on my lecky

I've just done most of my flowering and vegging under a 250w Red Envirolite, was ok but you would be much, much better off with a 250w HPS mate.

CLF's are good for veg but not very good for flower.

I used a second hand 125w red along with a bunch of 20-30w CFLs, almost 300w total. Got more than 3 ounces off of 2 plants, diary is in sig.

Yeah you did,

Thanks for the advice guys, suppose i'll just downgrade the wattage come 12/12 time and stick with hps

Why downgrade the wattage? How many watts you vegging under?

How many lumens does the 125w envirolite give?

Should I put a blue one in as well?

Hi i thought i would give Cfl a go last year so i changed my setup from 2x400 hps agros for 6x250clf 2700k and away i went flowered fine but the density was poor lost 1/2 the weight ,went straight back to hps(last year I was smokeing far too much @ the time) But they do flower

thats an expensive way round , why didn't you just add 700w of lights to your 400's ?
