Heya all, i've been here for a while now, and i've learned a lot. There are still a few things i need help understanding though.
From what i understand, 6500k while vegging, 2700k while flowering. HPS bulbs are best for flowering, HID bulbs are best for vegging.
But when you are using CFL's + autoflowering, how does this change? Do you just switch to 2700k at the first sign of buds?
Also does using 2700k while vegging affect the growth of the flower if you are autoflowering? I have a 250W equiv 2700k bulb that i want to throw in with my 100w equiv 6500k bulbs, but i don't know how it will affect growth. More light = more growth, right? So could harm come from having that extra bulb in there/would the quality be affected?
ALSO my local lighting store sells a 450W equiv CFL that is color spectrum 5000k. I know that isnt an ideal color spectrum, but would it hurt if i added it to my current bulbs?
Thanks!
