HEY everyone, I'm a new member to the site and was just wondering what lighting would be best for a seedling that will start with 12/12 from seed to harvest...I was wondering if I should use a 2700k cfl the whole way threw or a 5000k cfl, or any others that would be best for 12/12 from seedling.

Yes I know that I should do 18/6 (daylight 6500k) when vegging and then 12/12 (warm white, or soft white 2700k) while flowering but this is my first grow and I'm trying 12/12 as an experiment.

I have the money currently and have a decent setup...all i am waiting on is an answer so i can go to walmart and pick up the type of "K" bulb i need, whether it's 2700k or 5000k or 6500k....remember...im doing 12/12 from seedling to harvest so i wanna know which bulb would work best for the whole way threw.

thank you for all your help
-After watching pineapple express it made me think hey it seems easy...why can't i grow 1. so i spent about 2 days researching how to germ, veg, flower, harvest, and cure, and finally this point...

once i get the bulbs it's time to germinate...
TY again!

thank you for the quick reply!
so you think 6500k cfl and a 2700k cfl will do good for just 1 plant for 12/12 cycle from seedling? and also should i keep both these on at the same time during its 12 hours of light?

yeah depends on how many watts, if your using the 26 watters, shit id through a minimum of 8 on her personaly, but one is risking it if your going from seed. No wories if its a clone, but ya if your using the 85 and 105 watters than ya thatd be cool, one of each.

well my plan was to get 1 40 watt daylight(6500k) cfl and 1 40 watt warm white or softwhite(2700k) cfl both on 1 plant, do you think this will work at all? when i say 40 watt i mean their equivalent to like 150-200 incandescent

MOre the marrier but the rule of thumb is what .5g per watt IF your a good grower and IF you have a HPS light.

try to get atleast 4 all together

yah so that comes out to like 40 grams? 2 bulbs that are 40 watt = 80 watts times .5 grams is 40 grams. I would be more then satisfied to get this much off of a first time grow that is using 12/12 cycle from seedling
