ok im planning on buying an artificial light for some of my VFTs for colour experiments.
i wanna know what encrouges the colour to come out?

the higher the color temperature,the more colour it will bring out?
or the higher the waltage,the brighter the colour?

what influences the colour?the color temperature or the waltage?should i focus on buying a light bulb with high color temperature or high waltage?



Thanks

Both combined, really. Color temperature will help, and wattage will make it brighter and stronger. Also look at lumens, that also measures brightness.

There are several factors that make plants show fall colors. Decreased day light, excess sugar content in the leaves, brighter light, cooler temps, etc. Heres some good reading on the subject to give you a basic understanding of fall/autumn colors:).
