Can you grow marijuana with the lights of the same as that used for heating reptile terrarium has? Is a question in my course DAF. Everyone will know if the heat of the bulbs used to maintain high temperatures in the habitats of reptiles are well adapted to grow a marijuana plant?
The spectrum of a bulb that gives is usually measured in degrees Kelvin, which is usually a unit of temperature. These units are used for bulbs fluroscent.
In the natural environment, in the spring sun gives more Blu in light red in the fall, you get more red to blue. This, together with the light / dark ratios, causes of cannabis flower, while causing the degradation of long chain hydrocarbons in the trees, so we see the leaves change color.
For optimum growth, a cannabis plant needs 10,000 lumens per square foot. reptile cage lights are primarily used for heating and production of the skin of vitamin D, which is best achieved at the 10,500 K fluorescent bulbs Flowering cannabis prefers 3500K bulbs bloom red, blue and 6500K bulbs for vegetative growth. Only the T3 and T5 bulbs fluroscent give enough intensity lumen per square foot. This is why most cannabis growers professionals use high intensity discharge lighting, or HID. A metal halide 600 watt (blue) light bulb gives off 90,000 lumens, an area of 9 sq ft, compared to a light bulb fluroscent long as its intensity distributes light over a much larger area and may give less than 6000 lumens per square foot. A 1000w light bulb from a good performance HID manufacturing company of 150,000 lumens, covering an area of 15 square feet. These HID bulbs less than a foot long, with a reflective 2x2, they give the greatest light intensity per unit area.
I do not grow marijuana, but it depends on the UV output. If the color red, I do not think so. It must be more of a natural color or just burn or burn plants. Because the bulbs heat just not what he has called. Turn the heat. Yes marijuana needs heat, but not heat all the time and not have to be hot. Most grow up north anyway. The reason I know is I took the cultivation of plants class. We used high-pressure sodium bulbs, to get the right UV light and temperature. Heat bulbs just bug eggs hatch. LOL. Good luck.
No, they do not agree, you need a balanced spectrum of light toward the blue for vegetables and red flowers. The bulb of reptiles cook.
If you're on a budget, you can get the CFL more on available at Home Depot or Wal Mart about 100 watts per square foot
To change the flower of light 12 off 12.
Give me some weed pl0x.
