Hello all...IM currently using a 26w cfl
witch only gives out about 1600 lumens..defintly not enough thats because i keep her outside sometimes and she gets the suns light so im not realy focused on an in-door grow. When she gets bigger she is going to be strickly indoors so i need to no the right color spectrums.

Some people say blue is good for veg , and red is for flowering.

Some say the other wise where blue spectrum at 400w hps is better for flowering.

so im wondering what am i going to have to buy soon to start my plant budding?

Ialso have handy a 2700k 13w cfl that only produces 825 lumes..

right now its under 6500k daylight 26w cfl 1600lumens

(actualy its in the sun at the moment)
but like i said when it gets bigger its coming in!

PS. im getting more sockets for more bulbs ^^
 
You want a mix of 6500 and 2700 in all stages but heavy on 6500 in veg and heavy on 2700 in flower. You are going to need a lot more light. Even for one plant you should have around 150w actual and in flower that will be 100w of 2700 and 50w od 6500. Make sure they are down to 2 inches from foliage.
