Full spectrum is generally 5,000-6,000K, so yes, probably fine in terms of color temp.

that's what i was thinking. i am just questioning it. lol.

The only thing is, for $8 it's probably not a quality bulb. It's fine for now, but I would replace with a nicer brand eventually. I've used Alzo, and they're pretty good:

It states 5500K, but my light meter registered about 6000K. I've used them for mother plants and early veg. clones, they seem to work quite well.

What are you growing?

im on a budget lol. 40$ for two bulbs seems like too much to me. heh. im gonna try growing some peppers with some bag seed. probably just gonna veg them until next spring.

Well, best of luck.

thanks man. yehh. ordered some ghost pepper seeds. they're supposedly the hottest seeds in the world.
