Cfl Lighting?
Hey guys, I've been growing a seed i got from a bag for 2 weeks now, I have had it under 2x18w cfl lamps 18/6 for 2 weeks. I've just recently bought a 45w 6400k blue colour temperature lamp 3000 lumens equivalent output 225w and a 45w 2700k red light colour temperature lamp. Ive taken the 2 18w down atm and just got the 45w 6400k on, all in all that's 126w for 1 plant. Will this be ok to veg the plant? and will the 2700k be ok to flower the plant?

yes and yes ...
but if possible .. run em all .. plants need all kind of light color/kelvin all grow ..
just more blue (5000-6500K) in Veg and more red/yellow (2000-3000K) in flowering ..
but as a rull of tump .. the more light the better .. weed is a light loveing plant ..
Take my advice !! ... I dont use it anyway ...

So shall i set them all up now or leave the 2700k for flowering?
-
how often are you watering ? growth looks a bit stunted....
-
I only water when the soil is dry about an inch down

2700K is warm white and is high in red and yellow spectrum tho it contains most of the colors ..
plant will need all kind of colors/kelvin all grow .. just more blue in veg and more red/yellow in flowering ..
some Ppl. even grow from seed to haverst only useing a HPS (2000-3000K)
so yes .. use em all .. all grow ..
if it was me .. I would mostlikely make some kind of DIY hood with some maylor or sumthing similar for reflexion and then fit all 4 bulbs inside ..
and keep it 4 inch´s over my plants .. and keep the plants low .. train em and keep a even canorpy as the only real down side of CLF/floures. is penetrations/light strengs ..
my light meter dont show mouch reading after 10 inch`s
at 12 I dont even get a reading .. 4 inch`s away from my T5HO 49W tube I read around 1K foot candles (= +10K lumens per sq ft)
Take my advice !! ... I dont use it anyway ...
