Default Are different types of cfl better than others?
Right now I have 2 different 24" fluoros, and two of these dual 12" fluoros.
They each have a different hue of color. The dual 12's are regular white whatever light they came with, the other two have gro-lux and some other grow light, they are both a little different color.
I just added a 42 watt cfl 2700 lumens, and it is a lot more yellow than any of my other ones.
I read somewhere that you want mostly blue to give a better chance of females, so I wanted to know if all cfl's are equal or are there certain types that are better than others?
I mean, I dont mind much, I just dont want this bulb to make males.

Any info is appreciated.
Thank you!



I am two weeks in from when they first sprouted.
This picture is a few days old, but its just to show the light set up I have.
I just added the 42 watt cfl, so its not in this picture.
I repotted the plants into containers that are a little bigger, made 4 corners with them and put the cfl right in the middle.
