theres not a single more effective thing you can do than replace those CFL with $10-20 of LED bulbs

they make them in 5000k and 2700k and the spectrums are different than those same numbers in a fluorescent tube

you gotta experiment but you can cover a lot of range by mixing those two

5000k will veg some squat-ass plants

1:1 or 2:1 (2 5000k + 1 2700k) also works great

Is squat ass good LOL I was wondering a bout Par LED flood lights in 2700 K and 5000 K. I found some Par 38 LED floods not that expensive to me. Your thoughts on these as I'm about 4 to 5 days from popping seeds in soil

What caught my eye was the Par # since I have full spectrum Mars Par 38s. Hate to buy them if not gonna work did the with some E39 base lights b4 I knew there was a difference

generally the 5000k "cool white/daylite" are 110-120 lm/W with the covers on and the 2700k "warm white" are 100-110 lm/W with the covers on

thats for the "100W replacements" that run 14-16 input watts

theyre so cheap its hard to go wrong

walmart great value and homedepot ecosmart are like $3-$5 each in 4 packs
