I have veg and bloom switches on my blurples and I have had both on concurrently for the majority of my grow.
All my plants are in bloom now, should I consider just having the bloom light switched on?

Re: Veg and bloom lights
Very good question fibrosux. There is no correct answer here but my preference would to be leave both on from start till the end.
Those myths of spectrum requirements that change over the life of the plant are quickly being debunked. IMO, plants use all of the wavelengths, all of the time.
What is the make/model of your light buddy?

Re: Veg and bloom lights
Thanks guys, this was my instinct as well but I thought I'd ask as you are all such a knowledgeable bunch.
My plants seem to be doing well but I have nothing to compare it to...

Re: Veg and bloom lights
Give them as much different wavelengths of light as possible I would say.
I could see the difference in quality from my old mars to new ECO 60W vs TS series and the Eco one has a really red and violet type light. I'm using it to subsidise a small plant temporarily while I dry in my main grow space. I forgot what difference in light there was. Even feeling it under your hand you can feel the difference. You can certainly see the difference in quality light.
The eco one seemed to have the same sort of light spectrum as the one you're explaining and I got ok bud but you noticed the difference upgrading. Still good to use though as you get the 1st couple of grows out of the way. The big LED's are very strong and the plants require a lot of feed and will cycle more water I should imagine.
I'm looking for a slight upgrade again soon, for a slightly larger space. The invisible suns look brilliant but most products with SMD chips and samsung branding all good. Athough I go for a budget so use the mars range for now. I did look at spider farmer too.
