i live in other GMT, i just dont want anyone to find me.. whell, u know.

Why not? I didnt grew them proper. i grew 21 days with single 5w, so they got really streached. i hope they will be shorter next time with these leds. :) im not dumping LEDs without testing them..

6400k, how can i see are those 6400k or others? is it typed on box?

PS my new leaves is bit bent down, could that be from cold? (my fan was working dirrectly on plants, now i put it lower :/

it will say what light spectrum they are when u buy them. 6400k emits a blue light, 2700k emits a red light

but to be fully sure: White light bulb - veg lights;
warm white light bulb - flower lights?

put warm and white on them through the whole grow weed loves light all the time until we force them to flower 12/12 cycle

actually im growing with leds only to save electricity.. :)

anyway, to add warm white sounds good idea.

but if i had to choose to add warm white or cold white light bulb to these leds, wich would you suggest me?

thanks!!!
