Default using 5000k all the way through flowering?
i am planning on getting some 40w 2700k lights, but for now i have my girls under 6 5000k bulbs.
just wondering what buds would be like if i just kept these bulbs and didnt get the 2700ks

probably not as dense....use both when you flower...the more light the better

I would say your buds would be denser but not as large, you can flower very nice plants with MH, some people use them the last 2 weeks of flowering you increase density. But yeah both spectrum's would be ideal.

well i picked up 3 40w cfls 2700k today. some splitters and a timer and also a power chord.

so right now ive got 5x 26w 5000k plus 4x 40w 2700k.

so thats 8750 lumens at 5000k
and 2600x4 = 10400 lumens at 2700k.

total wattage = 290.

oh i think my babies will love it . this is for two plants.
