That would give me all 6 bulbs of daylight type. Am I wasting the 42 watts of power using that 2700k while they are in Veg? I hate the thought of that 42 watts being a waste of money, when I could give the plants an extra 26 watts of Daylight bulb. It would cost less, and the daylight would give off less heat as well, since it's only 26 watts.

Thanks
