Spimps NLxBB Auto Micro CFL's 2013

Hold on a minute..... I said HPS, not HID....

High pressure sodium lamps don't emit UV at all because excited
sodium atoms dont emit in the UV range.
Low pressure sodium lamps emit 99.5% of their light at exactly 589nm
and 589.6nm (yellow). But as you increase the pressure, the bands do
widen so a high pressure lamp emits some light down to just below the
500nm mark and right up into the infra-red. But no UV.

As for MH lamps
Metal halides are basically
high pressure mercury vapour plus metal iodide compounds, like thallium,
sodium, indium, lithium etc, - so you get (depending on the actual
metal iodides added) lots of spectral lines in all sorts of different
colours which add together to make what looks, to the eye, like a
really nice "sunlight" white (although in fact it is ever so spikey!)
and which has all the typical mercury vapour spikes too. So yes...
you get mercury vapour emissions at all the typical wavelengths. But
as you say, the manufacturers use glass that blocks the UV, probably
also UV blocking coatings, and possibly phosphors too to convert the
UVC to more useful visible light.

So I was not 100% wrong (@stickstoungeoutatFishcake.com)

:high-five:
 
Looking good still :reading420magazine:I like the talk about lighting and ect. I am still reading and learning so anytime I gain little knowledge and read about some nice plants it's good.


Here Spimp and anyone else that wants to hop over and enjoy my adventure .
Crazycarls LED first grow I am still getting it all written up. It's a couple little ones from seed under LED's.

Good Weed, Spimp :)

I would like a light that started the day with 2700k, morphing into 6500k untill "Late afternoon/evening"

when 2700 k is added and replaces 6500k completely for the last few hours until lights out.

That every day, with longer 2700k and shorter pure 6500k lighting hours as the "year" went on.

Probably need a dedicated pc to control the switching lights,

but I think that would replicate nature more than ON/OFF with either light spectrum.

And Cfls put out UV light. That's why you should never use them as a desk or bedlight.

UV is the one big advantage of Cfls over HPS (no uv) and gardens which augment HPS with Cfls seem to do best

As Spimp says, I could be 100% wrong.

But i'm not.

I wish there was a light that you could enter Northern Lights X Big Bud. Then it would program it self for all variables, perfect spectrum hour by hour, perfect increasing decreasing spectrum based on plants cycle and seasonal change. Throw in sun circle'ing type motion. Incorporating all our ideas we got a Mini Sun. :thumb:
I hadnt thought about doing the changing light spectrum daily as well.

good weed Spimp:)if you think that a hid does not have UVs go to sleep under one.they sell glasses for eye protection from HID bulbs:)
you can buy black lights and UV lights separate to supplement UVs that are naked to the human eye and most of either CFLs or HIDs have the same but not enhanced like the above mentioned bulbs.
as far as the change during the day of different spectrum's, all you need is separate timers:)

Godd weed to you as well. Always humbled sir. :byebye:
Im still a little behind in high output lighting. Been focusing on learning alot about CFL's. But from the little I know, I want one... :)

I'm in sir. Ive been checking a little out about them but the seem expensive for the wattage. Im Poor. :):)

Good weed everyone. Had to work a double today and a little worn out. its all good though. Blue Mammoth is lookign good since the transplant. Ill try to get some pics up later. NLXBBa is also looking good. The branches are tying to get out from under the fans. Ive beentrying to tuck, but its too short and stubby. :hmmmm: One of my goals was to not remove any leaves unles they were basically dead. Think im gonna let it be for a least a week before I do anything, lst or what not.
 
yeah!!

Think Ive got her stretching a little so Im probably gonna do some LST in a few mins. I gott a catch up on my subscriptions real quik tho!! 117 sub'd an I looked at maybe 4 last night. :rofl:

btw, GOOD WEED EVERYONE!!

Its difficult. But when I look to see who to unsub from Im always saying "he needs help", "hes a good dude", "He has a pretty setup" :rofl: Sad part is I keep thinking Im missing some of the new ones. :):)
Trying to pay the love foward sir.
