What light for flowering

Hi! I have a full spectrum light bulb red/blue and a small amount of white and another growing light bulb but more white/yellow. As I'm transitioning to flowering, which bulb should I use to get big buds? I can't find clear answer on the web. Thanks 🙏🙇‍♂️

Hello friend, I think some companies like fluence and bios light have really mastered the full spectrum that benefits all stages. But I've learned not all lights are created equally, especially older models. I did a grow with 2 plants and 2 lights, 1 higher in red light and 1 blue/white, i never rotated the plants or switched them around, and the plant under the higher red performed incredibly better than the blue. Bigger buds, higher trichrome production and better smell etc.. I didn't understand this at 1st. I think full spectrum lights are great, but i would opt for higher red lighting over blue/white in flower if you have to make a choice. Try checking the specifics of each light and find the one who has more of what you want. I also believe that more light is usually better, so regardless of what's available if you can increase your lights without harming the plants I say go for it. Happy growing ✌️

Hey dude first of all be careful with your nutrients that shiny /glossy look on your leaves is an excess of nitrogen, I would probably cut that out for a week. Secondly plants need both spectrums of light to grow thouroughly. But more red than blue light in flowering. I use blue only for seedlings, dual for the rest of the grow all the way up the flush period and then I use the red only until harvest. 🌱👍

You are going to want a full spectrum light during flower with an increased amount of red light. Red light acts as a flower booster but you do not want to withhold other colors of the spectrum as the plant wants all colors, but an increase in red over other colors will provide the boost in yield you are looking for.
