CFL!! Where DO I put them???

Does it matter where I position my lights during a CFL veg grow? What I mean to say is : How do i properly disperse the 6500k lights with the 2500k lights? I understand that I need significantly more 6500k during veg but I also want to add some 2500k lights as well. What ratio should I use when in vegetative state regarding the two different light? Should I have the 2500k lights hanging from the top of the plant or the sides? I just want to make sure that I'm evenly dispersing the light. Can anyone help a desperate soul...? lol

There is a subforum here dedicated to cfl's:

CFL Growing

You'll probably get better answers there.

Ok thanks. I looked through the cfl forum but never really got a deffinate answer. I'll look again though....thanks

i use cfls sometimes..3 inches from your plant is the best place because they dont get hot. I have even burned the tips of my leaves to makes sure i get big buds...never let lights tuch the buds tho ever.

just put da 6500k on top and if u want to use more put the 2700k on the side so you get a dual spec.
like 2in. away.

Hey, thanks for the info everyone!!

I should have given you a better link to drbudgreengenes method. Here it is, a massive thread detailing what can be done with 5 cfl's and 2 square feet of floor space. He has 3 mature plants to harvest every single week perpetually. He uses a mix of cfl's like you want but you'll have to read some of the thread to see what mix he uses.


This thread is insanely long and popular but everything you would ever want to know to do the same thing is there for you.
