That is correct sir. I believe something on the blue spectrum would also be beneficial. Someday I'm gonna do an experiment MH vs HPS vs CFL. See if spectrum and lumens matter.

Why wouldn't you include LED's in your experiment? Just asking.

LED are expensive to get in both spectrums and separately. I already have the other three lights lol. Really?? Hmm? I suppose I'm sure someone else thought of this before. I was probably just too stoned and tired to think about it. Eh maybe won't do it.

6500k I believe is the standard of practice.

Anywhere from 5000k-7000K lighting will work.

I was reading a nice little post here awhile back, showing the sizes of common household bacteria and molds in relation to the gaps in variants of filters ( tyvek,sfd's,coffee filters)
Even the .02 micron SFD's holes are no match for tobacco smoke which rates in a minuscule .003 I believe it was.
Than again I could be way off and just too psilly right now.

I always smoke bowls in my room and ive smoked in my grow room and nothing happened, but thats not cigs. I wouldn't do anything thats easy to avoid, to hurt my mushies. If you see water droplets, just fan real good, and if it looks dry and theres now water on the walls or condensation, or water droplets on the cakes/fruits, mist. And I like checking up on my little pinheads, so i mist and fan as much as possible.
