I seem to have good luck bring veggies from seed to bloom without changing over any bulbs. I prefer to run one of each so I do not have to change bulbs, and in an effort to provide a more "Rounded" light source. I figured the sun puts off all the different spectrum's at once, so why not try to recreate the sun light as much as possible. I have found that Tomatoes and green beans grown under fluorescent lights seem to stretch or grow taller vs HPS or MH
Worm Farmer do you keep the light close to the foilage to try and stop the stretching?

AS ALWAYS IMHO AND YOUR MILEAGE MAY DIFFER!!!!!!!!

Life - Some assembly required, As is no warranty, Batteries not included, Instructions shipped separately and are frequently wrong!

Kentucky Bourbon - It may not solve the problem but it helps to make it tolerable!

Statistics - Data that analyst twist to support the insane opinions of those that pay them.
