Powercompact Light?

[tooldini]

I have a 180w powercompact light that I used for my mini reef aquarium. If I remove the actinic blue bulb and replace with a sunlight bulb would this work in my vegetation area of my room? would that be enough light to veg some plants for a few weeks or so?

It seems this would be good for vegging but was hoping someone would know

I know you was growing some sweet zoanthids, mushroom, acros, lps, anenomes and other corals with that PC. It will work in ur new hobby just as well.

 

I have had a few saltwater tanks, still do in fact. This hobby is much easier.

Absolutely a lot of grow lights started off as aquarium lights .

 

What is the dimension of the fixture how many bulbs?

thanks guys it is 48" 2 bulbs so 2 90w bulbs. I have not checked online to see about new bulbs or anthing yet. Wired Zooanthinds are my favorite, also love mushrooms and star polyps. I had some sweet fluorescent green stars that were rare and cost a ton and over a couple weeks a caribean fireworm at most of the colony. I caught him 1 month later. 10 months later slime algae took over and it ended up calling it quits,, that stuff is tough to get rid of. I think I had insufficiant light though for growing corals very well. I miss my mini reed LOL

Yes they should work very well for vegetative growth phase. I would replace the Actinics with 10000K or 6400K if possible.

 

The actinics would be better for added oil production through bloom phase.

Ooooo tell us more this sounds interesting.

Well I believe an actinic light is nothing more than a UV light if I'm not mistaken.

 

UVB has been linked to increased trichome production. Increases in trichomes has been theorized to inevitably lead to higher THC levels.

SO has anyone really experimented with this? maybe someone could try a couple of hundred watts or actinic at the flowering stage.

[THC-Farmer]

Can't say that I have...

 

Looks like a good experiment though. Give it a shot ToolD.
