is this an alright bulb for veg growth? i know it said a little bit higher is the best but will this be okay?

i don't think so. that's pretty far away from 6500k. i mean, you could proabably use it, but it would be similar to vegging under 2700ks... very slow growth.

good call. it's not like getting the right spectrum of lights is expensive, anyway. good luck

Get Daylight there the right ones massive growth compared to soft white or the others... keep the 2700k for flowering or go full spectrum!! Its just my opinion check out my crappy grow you can def tell which are daylight i sware!!

alright thanks...the plant is in veg and it seems to be growing alright with those two even tho they are only 5300...one problem i have, i wanna buy more, but where do u guys get the set up where it is just the thing u screw the bulb in (sorry dont know name...) with the wires coming out of the back and then plugged in...i see people with just the bulbs screwed in and then just a wire coming outta that thing and they hang them...sorry for the lack of terms hope u understand...but i need some fixtures like that...
