Will these lights work
    #27461329 - 09/09/21 06:11 AM (2 years, 4 months ago)

I moved these tubs out of my usual grow room because i use one 30w LED for 12 tubs and put them under the lights i used for growing cannabis clones.

Ive been seeing very low yields since moving into a “room” even though i have an extractor fan so it can get FAE.

So i thought maybe its the light
So now i move them to a bigger room with these lights






Will these work? What do you guys think? Do you think not enough light can make a shitty pinset?

What sort of lights are those purple ones?
I think it'll work, it's just less than ideal. White light is best.

What's the color temp on those lights? I believe 65000 Kelvin is ideal for mushrooms. If you were growing cannabis under those lights previously, they're probably around 35000K A LOT more red and a lot less blue and putting out a LOT of energy. I'm new to mushrooms....but have years of cannabis growing experience.

It's 6500 K and 3500 K, not 65000 K and 35000 K. Color temperature is a proxy of the "hue" of the light, it has little to do with how much energy it's putting out. There's no way those are 3500 K lights. I don't know what they are, but they look like they might be putting out infrared.
OP, are those lights for cannabis growth? High power lights are not suitable for mushrooms, they produce too much heat and evaporation.

those are blurple weed lights they are something like 2200K color temperature. I dunno if that's making your stuff look bad though. Could be that's not an ideal spectrum I don't think. Usually low light make tiny caps long stems. Not sure what temp problems might be like compared to the trusted daylight 6500K we like to use.

Nice lights, can't say if they are any good without any specs though. I think I got mine for twenty bucks from Lowe's that was 6500k. Just make sure you get a hard wired one unless you are qualified to mess with wiring something.

Those are what they call blurple full spectrum it's mix of red and blue, not ideal for this, those are plant lights that are like 340nm-690nm or something, color temps like 3500k and 6500k apply to white lights. You want white lights for this

Blue-red-purple BluRPle it's just an easier way to say blue and red LEDs with a resulting purple light. It's usually used to differentiate from a white light LED. It's weed forum lingo.

Lighting can be tricky. I've found that different plants need different light setups. Mushrooms, for example, aren't too fussy about light, but they do need some. If your yields are low, it might be because the light's not quite right for them.
