Indoor Blue light brings on Buds faster!

Apparently, adding a "Blue light" when your main growing lights are O, will bring on flowers when she's still in the Vegging period . I've some blue LEDs....I'll give it a go!!

Yeh but then all the plants energy will focas on the flower and not as much on growth i dont think that would work BUT i would love to see it tried so ill pull up a chair if your doing it

I understand you totally si1984, but I'm gonna get my hands on these.....

The perfect Blue 460nm the plant needs and very cost effective, I'm gonna place them shining through the sides of the plants 1 week before I turn to flower. cant see it doing any harm to the autos as they should flower anyway, maybe boost them on?!?

Will keep you informed.

Personally, I wouldn't waste my $. At only 2 watts each you would need a ton of them to see any real effect. Consider that a 240 watt LED panel uses eighty 3 watt LEDs by way of comparison.

I grow with LED primarily, all of my autos tend to flower between 18 - 24 days from seed. I'm not sure I'd want them to do so any sooner.

I don't get it? So if I burn extra red during veg it will veg grow better?

lol, just playing.

No clue but it sounds like a gimmick to me. Plus I am always thinking in a LED mindset.

I read about the blue light from.......http://www.cannabis.info/UK/library/2711-blue-light-for-sexing

@ Muddy, yes your right about the powerful 5 or 10 watt diodes, but I'm only thinking of bringing the girls into flower gently before they bust into main bloom. I've tested LEDs in the past, we once placed a seedling under a single 3 watt Red LED for 24 hours. after 3 day's she stretched and fell over being so tall and skinny. We also did this with Blue on another seedling and the leaves grew very fat and dis-formed.

Look at the Good, New LEDs on the market. They are now using all the right 7 colour spectrum/Kelvin a plant needs from seedling to flower. LED grow lights will be mainly Red followed by say 25% Blue. What I'm saying is, you wouldn't need much power of Blue to slowly bring them on.

I think this applies more to non-auto flower plants. Because it takes some time to enter flower mode, this could be handy for the impatient growers. But sure, nothing wrong with testing the theory! To do it right you'll need a second plant under the same conditions without the blue light.

Did this theory not apply to photo plants as blue light did not trigger re veg when used in the off peroid so they ran blue in the "dark peroid"

Plant received more light so finished quicker

sounds more like they "think" it brings on pre flowers , not actually flowers/flowering , and it also sounds like complete B.S IMO , my photo plants pre flower between week 4 and 6 as it is

dont believe everything you read , no matter what source , some respected mags have published proven bs , then later had to publish a big sorry article

peace
