Does anyone know what the Color Temp of those 65w CFL bulbs from lowes. They are huge, and i know the company that makes them is actually a branch of lowes products (kinda like the Albertsons brand Orange Juice). Anyways I lost the box and its a 300w incandescent equivalent. How many plants would that grow if I used 4 of those btw

and the Lumens as well please. I cant find it anywhere online

and the brand is called Bright Effects

lol sorry

I found one on the web site but it's called BulbLights of America 6500K....Is it this??
65 Watt Fluorescent Replacement Bulb

I think i might go pick up some..But i noticed that the base looks bigger do you need a special socket??

For that one I have no Idea, thats not the one, mines a spiral style, but for mine no it uses a regular socket. I should of saved the box... damnit

They are a low kevin bulb. Mostly for BLOOMING or FLOWERING.
Kelvin is a measure of temperature, as in 5100K or 2700K (this is the emitter temperature, not the actual temperature of the bulb itself), and it refers to the color of the bulb; 6500K being a blue light spectrum, and the 2700K being a red spectrum. Plants like a predominately blue spectrum during their vegetative growth and like red spectrum light during flowering. Together the 6500K and 2700K provide a dual, or complete spectrum, suitable for all plants during all phases of growth.

IT IS POSSIBLE TO GROW ONE PLANT WITH ONE LITTLE 26 WATT CFL BULB, I;'ve seen them here on RIU. But, the more watage,the more lumens, and the more lumens, the FASTER and BETTER they grow.
I use 4 65s, 4 85s, and 4 105 watt CFLs on an average of 8 plants and they grow SUPER FAST, with a low electric bill and very little heat.

The 65 watt sylvania bulb I used to rock was 4100k color temp, which is bad, like driving your car in neutral is how I heard it described. If its a daylight, or 6500k it will work great for veg, if its 2700k or warm white it will work great for flower. I think 1 65 watt per plant would get you some real dense nuggz. Oh and if you have to choose between daylight and warm white to use for your whole grow, choose warm white, they're better for flower production. A mix of both would work best though.

This lamp is rated at 2700k, 3900 lumins, the info is on the box.

Thats what i got! Its it enough for 1 plant. 45w 6500K 2 x 23 2700k and 65w 2700k

IT is ENOUGH.
