Globes - Veg and Flowering Help plzz

I understand the concept of using 'warmer' globes for flowering but due to space and money issues i've only got two lamps to play with. Currently there's one plant (15cm-20cm tall) that I want to flower soon currenty under 2* 35watt CFL'S 6700k... I have at my disposal 2* 23 watt "Warm White" 2700K CFL'S...


Question being, What I be better off keeping the cool white 6700k globes in and simply putting them into 12/12 OR changing the 34watt 'Cool' globes for 23watt globes that are 2700k?

Thanks in advance- Stay High bongsmilie

It's fine to use the 6500k as they will help with stretch and promote leaf growth,stem strength.I would put them under 12/12 6700k light until stretch is over then add the 2700k.The 2700k mimics the late season sunlight and helps flowering and bud development...
I think i answered your question;)

Are you using globe brand cfls? or globe style led bulbs?....or those cfls with a plastic globe?.Lol...You got some pics??..I'm asking because you should remove the plastic globe from led bulbs.

Whats he said sounds pretty good to me.

I know you said its hard but you might want to invest in a few more lightbulbs. (borrow your dads droplight, or even find some sockets and some proper gauge power cord laying around and wire one up yourself.)

MAKE SURE YOU UNDERSTAND ELECTRICITY if attempting

If all your growing conditions are perfect you'll average 1 Gram per Watt.
Thats all of 58 Grams. If the light is used 100% efficiently

Unless thats what you're going for.

Good Luck check out my CFL grow thread.
