This is my first grow. I currently have 2 females flowering. So, I made a rookie mistake and bought 4 4'floursecent 2 light fixtures when i started a month and half ago.
FOr my new little veg cabinet I purchased 26W cool white cfl lights with metal reflectors. I have fan running in both setups on low. Question is this. I really don't want to get waste all of the 4'fluorescents i purchased. I can't take themback. no boxes, I would like to add some cfl's to the flowering room.
What should I add, and how many, and should they be, cool white, warm white or mixed. thanks for you advice!

warm for flowering....add as many as possible...and get some lights for your fluoros that produce a red spectrum. you should get some nuggets

yeah yhe red spectrum helps produce sticky resin,did you not think of using envirolites, they arent expensive and are cool.

I wouldn't call you buying the tubs and fixtures a waste...

1st what kind of of tubes did you get?... the daylight tubes are great for veging, and warm light or "kitchen and bath" are good for budding.

Keep your fixtures right over your plants as close as you can get them and add cfl's in and around your plants to supplement them with more light... the cfl's are just like the tubes.... daylight for veg and softwhite for budding.

One last thing, in your little grow cab, instead of just a reflector behind your lights... also you use mylar to line the inside of the cab... when using cfls, proper reflection is very important.

Check out my little grow for some ideas... Micro ebb/flow (NOW DWC), all CFL ScrOG, perpetual Stealth locker

could you tell me r these cfl lights that people r using r the same as envirolites? please

Envirolite is a trademarked name or "name brand" to cfl's made from that company. Even though they are cfls, they are not like the small 24 watters we get at walmart. You can get Envirolites in as big as 250 actual watts. Really nice lights.
