i have always seen on like grow videos that this was the rating for lights

halogen=horrible
incandescant=bad
flourescent=alright
compact flourescent=good
metal halide for veg and hps for flowering=really good
metal halide and hps for both veg and flowering= the best

so the 2700k light and the 6500k light combined are for the best grow possible. do you think using a 2700k and 6500k cfl setup for veging and flower would work the best for cfl growing? i was like thinkin about it and it kinda makes sense. any experts wanna inform me about it? thanks in advance guys:lea f:

Yeah a lot of people growing with CFL's use both the whole way through, it would seem to be the way to go.

i have 2 seperate grow cabs. one for veg and one for flower. and i got like 8 bulbs of each spectrum. each 23 watters. so i just but 4 with 4 in each cab right? sorry about the dumb/obvious question i just really want to do this right

No problem, we've all got to start somewhere mate, you got the idea, four of each in each cab.

thanks dude. oh one other thing if i have the y adapters with the screw in adapters that you plug into the power cord for the wiring. should i arange the bulbs so that 2700k are on one side and 6500k are on the other. like one side would be 6500k-6500k-6500k-6500k. and the other side would be 2700k-2700k-2700k-2700k. or should i put it in a zig zag like the left side going down the power strip would be 6500k-2700k-6500k-2700k. then the other side would be 2700k-6500k-2700k-6500k. i think the second option would distrubute both spectrums evenly but does it really even matter? sorry about the long winded reply i really just tried to make it visual so you could understand/answer better. but thanks dude.

Yep you're right again, staggered (zig zag) is the way to go.
