I am new at growing also. The idea situation calls for both to be used during different cycles of your grow. You will need the Elektrox 125W CFL grow bulb 6500K (or something similar to it) for vegetating and the Elektrox 125W CFL bloom bulb 2700K (or something similar to it) for flowering. Different light spectrums for different growth stages, and you can keep the same 23w CFLs for both as additional lighting.:leaf::leaf::leaf:

Yes I know it, but My idea was to use one bulb for both stages of growing, flowering and veg. Which one of these both spectrums would be the best?

I know some guys who used only one spectrum for both stages and only 4 25w bulbs and plants grow very well

Go with the 2700k, I've seen one bulb grows and they always have the big veg bulb, seems to work alright! I have no experience my self just going by what I've seen.
But 2700k isn't a Veg bulb, it's for flowring...

So I think I'll get Veg bulb, it seems best for me and if you said, there are people who grows with one big veg bulb and it works alright, I think I can do that...
And there are 4 additional 25w CFL bulbs. I think it would be nice for 2-3 plants...
