Mixing Light?

Hey how ya doing?

well my question is that I have a shitty funds (low money) to start off my first grow. Due to the fact of having shitty funds I will be using CFL's for this grow, six CFL's to be exact I was planning on going to get a 3 light bathroom bar fixture and three y-socket(or another bar depending on how much wattage they can take) and running all six bulbs on this light fixture.

But anyway I was thinking is it better to have all 6 bulbs the correct spectrum or mix?

If it is better to mix, do i use more blue spectrums than red during vegetative stage and more red spectrums during flowering

Your knowledge of what spectrum to have in the right stage is correct! VEG=BLUE, FLOWERING=RED. If you can only buy 6 bulbs for your entire grow, then go with 3 in one spectrum and 3 in the other. Mixing the spectrums can be good, but if you do have the money and can buy more bulbs then do what you said. Use 6 blue for veg and 6 red for flowering. IF money is tight then don't fret!! Everything will be fine!! Good luck!!
