if you want to try a light experiment...

to get more pins on your cakes or cased substrates...

try using a metal halide light,

yup, the kind used for other fruiting purposes.

try just a 35-50 watt.


I personally wouldn't load up on wattage.

Considering its an HID, the 30 watt would work fine. Don't plan on putting that inside your grow area eather unless its normally really cold in there, those bulbs get HOT. Also, when looking for a MH, they do make warm and cool MH bulbs, you would want a cool one, with more wavelengths in the blue spectrum, to maximize your gain, if any is to be had.

Lighting gives them a direction to grow to the best of my knowledge,you don't need much if any at all to induce pinning.

I've never had a lightcycle for my casings and cakes and they pin just fine.

Humidity and fresh air exchange are much more important than lighting.

those things are freakin bright. if your looking to experiment go ahead and try and let us know how it goes. but if your just looking for a light source you dont need anything nearly that bright
