    Default questions about bloom phase....

    I'm into bloom and I have some questions...

    1) What light is best? I'm running a flora sun hps 1000w bulb in a 4' tent... (2100k) supplemented by a few cfl bulbs around the under foliage..... 4 plants and its full...

    Whats the opinion on lighting? I've looked all over and it doesn't get specific...


    2) should I be using the cfl's under the foliage in addition to the hps? Grow op guy said yes... but suggested a SunBlaster 200W 2700k CFL for supplementary lighting...

    3) using dutch neutrient A/B bloom.... and Grotek monster bloom.... any other suppliments the more experienced would suggest to make the next few weeks stellar.... this is my first harvest, so keeping it simple... I've been adding small amounts of natural honey and molasses as well for sugars...

    I appreciate any advice

    I'm a huge fan of Dual Spectrum HPS bulbs, the blue in them is great for flowering too

    far red HPS then dual spec HPS for last 10 days and knock a hour off light,,,,,,,,, dont bother with anything under the canopy.

    good luck keeping the temp down with 1000w in 4 ft by 4 ft

    I guess I took some advice from here and looked around too.... What I came up with was:

    - light under the canopy.... light won't absorb under the foliage I understand.... photosynthesis only takes place on the top part of the leaves.. so light reflecting from the sides of the plant would be a filler, but light under the plant as asked.... no help...
    - as for bloom light, the flora sun will do the job certainly.... there's a lot of variable opinions for this... Whatever works best for you (well, your plants more accurately).
    - as for sugars, I am trying raw cane sugar and it seems to be doing well.... frosting up nicely!

    Plants at 40" after being scroged.... and are filling a 4' tent fully.... light almost attached to the ceiling.... still 3 to 4 weeks to go... so just filling out....

    I confess to being a newb... but learning...
