Hey people, I have a question concerning cfl growing. I plan on using CFLs for the entire grow period(VEG/FLOWERING) and i was wondering if for the veg period i should use a combination of cool and warm white bulbs and than when i get to the flowering stage just switch to all warm white. A response would be nice.
I would suggest using the cool and warm for vegging and during flowering just add a few more warm cfls. You could switch them all for warm bulbs but I'm not sure if it would be worth it.
yea true what jdub said for veg you should be fine but for flower it would be a waste with only cfls during the flowering period try to get a 250 watt hps light if possible it would be much better.....how many plants u got dude?
For my 2/3 plants. Vegging I use four 23w 5000k and four 23w 2700k bulbs. For flowering I use one 23w 5000k and seven 40w 2700k bulbs with good results. All cfl.
