Bloom and veg switch on LED

Post by The Irishman »

Hey troops this might be a silly question and I apologise in advance lol but just noticed I have had the two switches for veg and bloom on throughout my entire last grow take it it’s more beneficial for me just to use the veg switch on my LED during seedling and veg stage? Or is it better to have both on throughout. Many thanks

Hey dude, im under the impression that the light will have mainly blue diodes on when just the veg switch is on and then the more red heavy light when the bloom switch is added

should save ya a few pennies in leccy running with just the veg switch on pal

Hi mate,

I had a different brand to yours. I had a Mars. In veg you could run it will just the veg light on.
You could run with both lights on from seed to weed, but HAD to have both on in flower.

Cheers mate yeah when it’s just the veg it’s blue like you said and more red when in bloom. Think I’m gonna just use the veg light this time round. Was just curious in case the girls were missing out only have the veg on

Take it as soon as you flipped to 12/12 you flipped the bloom light on?

I grow autos, so had both lights on all the time. Rarely did I only use the veg light only when in veg.
