This is my first indoor grow, also my first autoflower.

I have a Lowryder #2 growing in my bedside cabinet (2' x 1' x 1'). It has just today started to flower. So far I have grown under an 85 watt 6400K CFL. I have two 45 watt 2700K CFLs ready to change for the flowering stage.

Should I swap the bulbs, or run all three side by side for the rest of the grow?

Those types of bulbs you can't have too much. Use all three in my opinion.

I think (hope) my fans are good enough to cope. If I had to choose 2 lights though, should I go with the 85watt 6400K and one of the 45watt 2700s or just the 2 2700s?

Thanks for the help!

If you had to only go with 2 i would say the 2700k's only due to there being too much wattage of 6400k

When vegging you could have used

2 x 6400k
1 x 2700l

and then for flowering

2 x 2700k
1 x 6400k


If you cant make this ratio better the 2700k's.
