yes it has 2 switchs, but you dont need that it would just cut back on the Lumens its the # of hours that change. the plants like some blue mixed with the red during the flowering stage too, no reason to turn the blue off. my T5's I use 3 red and 1 blue for flower 3 blue(6500 kelvin) 1 red (2700 kelvin) for Veg. I have 3 Apollo leds all 3 have little different color the 180 watt 60 3 watt chip rectantagel has a lot of blue but the 25 3 watt ufo has only 3 blue 1 uv and 21 red or orange supplement my T5's with these. they like all the color spectrum no matter what they just do better if its matched up 3to 1 I would go with the 5 watt chip one for flower, 3watt if plenty for Veg! yes it has 2 switchs, but you dont need that it would just cut back on the Lumens its the # of hours that change. the plants like some blue mixed with the red during the flowering stage too, no reason to turn the blue off. my T5's I use 3 red and 1 blue for flower 3 blue(6500 kelvin) 1 red (2700 kelvin) for Veg.

For the most part you could. It would definitely get your plants to the flowering stage I.e. fruit. Depending on the density of the vegetation however, you might need a stronger light. Also you would need to swap bulbs.

This light is very nice for starting and vegetative growth, you will want to have many "plants" under this light. You will, however, run out of room as your plants near the "fruiting" stage. If your plants are healthy you will end up with only 2 to 4 plants worth of space in the area of productive light provided. I wouldn't trade this fixture for any other comparable fixture.

I am able to program each zone independently. i have some zones running three days a week and others on 2 days a week. albeit, only one zone can be watered at a time, so stagger your time allotments accordingly.

Yes. But this is used in a 3 part series. Theirs grow, bloom, and micro which are all used at the same time but mixed in the water separately. U can't mix them together as one. It's designed for hydroponics solutions. Though you can use this in dirt to. It's a concentrate so it needs to be mixed in with water depending on what time of growth your in.

yes. blue spectrum bulbs for growing, red spectrum bulbs for blooming/flowering.

Depends on what you are watering. I put an emitter at each plant and control the amt of water at each with a different sized (color) emitter.

I believe that is done automatically when you select the plant you are using it with.

You don't. The veg/flowering it about the time the light is on. The spectrum works got both.

you could use HPS bulb for both veg & flower, but your plants will tend to stretch more during the veg phase. If you could, I would recommend using the mh for veg

I now have a gardener and can't remember. I'd contact B & D for compatibility.

I answered before. Let me expand on my "no". I gave my plants water and air, and kept them in indirect light. Both died; can't understand why.

Unfortunately no. There is no option to do it. it only changes automatically.

This unit it's not indicated for germinate or vegetable period, only flowering. You have to buy a specific one for those periods, a led whit more blue and white lights.

The title & description says "Daylight" & "Full Spectrum" in other words 5500K. A full spectrum is great for both grow & Bloom. Personally own the 6500k & 2700k with the official Hydro Farm Hood & I like it!

I don't see why not. The BloomBoss works great on different kinds of plants that I have.

Yes. But you need two different types of avocado trees with opposite flowering cycles.
