Re: fluorex
Hi Powercow9:

From what I've read the florex doesn't have the red color spectrum that the EVL does.
One of the things I really like about the EVL is how short the plants stay.
Everything I've read indicates that more red light will keep the internodes close.

Here's something interesting, if you let your plants have a small amount if infra red light shortly before the lights turn off the plants will stretch. This happens naturally outdoors at sunset. But by giving the plants a short exposure to red light, the affects of the infra red will be reversed. Very usefull info if your growing in a green house. To keep your plants short give them some red spectrum light just after sundown then shut the lights off for the night.

Sorry I'm so long winded.
Later.
86.
