what should i go with for my first grow, im only using 2 bulbs, 1 2700k 40watt cfl and 1 6500k 40watt cfl...I was wondering what would be better 12/12 from seedling (sense i only have 2 bulbs) or 18/6 for veg then 12/12 during flower. I also want your opinion on if I should use both bulbs at the same time wile doing 12/12 from seedling (if i choose this method) or if i should use both bulbs at the same time while doing 18/6 veg then 12/12(if i choose this method)

keep in mind i dont care about the harvest and want a somewhat small plant... i just want something that'll actually grow and gimmi some bud to try out!

POST any advice!!! thank you!

(I reposted this in this forum because I thought i'de get more feedback...TY!)

man ... just buy one more of each .. and you will be fine .. grow out a bunch of seedlings and when they are about 6 inches tall put them in 12/12 .. cause without that much light a larger plant wouldnt grow as well .. so flowering little plants will be good .. you are using bag seed right?

I've started using some 6500K light in my 12/12 system. I use 10% and it has made an improvement but not as much as I would have liked, so I'll add more once I've beefed up the ventilation.
I don't know what the best ratio would be but I notice that many of the newer LED grow systems use 1/3 blue light and I guess they must have based it on some scientific reasoning, so I'll probably try for that eventually.
If you get another 2700 then you would be at 1/3. Might be worth a try. Let's see your results too.

one more of each light .. so u have 2 2700k lights and 2 6500k lights .. it wouldnt be that hard to have 4 instead of 2 will it? cause that would help out alot .. but you can go 12/12 from seedling i guess... i always wanted to grow a munch like 20 seedlings in a container and flower them so it's like a miniature SoG

yah i could afford 2 more bulbs and stuff but what are those mechanisms where you can screw in 4 light bulbs into 1 thing and then you plug that thing into an outlet...kinda like a y splitter but a 4-way i guess?

i have 1 more question....when i get 4 bulbs (2 2700k)40w and (2 6500k)40w cfls should i use all of them at the same time or only the 6500ks during veg then switch to the 2700k's

__________________

yeah use them all .. put 1 of each in each splitter ... like this

(2700k)-[ ]-(6500k)

(6500k(-[ ]-(2700k)

get the diagram?
