growing 4 plants and i have about 30 26w 2700k cfl and 30 26w 6500k cfl. will be using a 250w MH for veg and HPS for flower too.

during veg should i use some of the 2700k cfls and visa versa?

would there be any benefit, right now i am only using 30 6500k bulbs for veg and curious if adding some 2700k would help..

i think 30 cfls and 250w mh/hps is already more than enough light.. would it be over kill?

i am growing ice in hydro (haven't fully setup the tub yet, since i am manually watering the seedlings until they build bigger roots.

haha chandler.
lights every where! going to get huge plants!
 
im thinking of growing them to about 12-15" then flowering the heck out of them.

i put lights all around to help more with flowering.. definitely dont need all this light for veg. i wouldn't think anyway.

the light that looks like a chandelier is hung on some chain that i can adjust the lights up and down for the seedlings, then i plan to take that down and bring the hps lamp down.

also easy to position the necks of the cfls using those fixtures.

I would use the cfl's in the house to offset the light bill.

I did that and as well, I used 2 65w 2700k cfls in my grow.

if you had 30 15 w cfls, you'd have 450w of cfl, plus the 250 mh, your talkin' 700 watts of light.! I bet it gets hot as hell in there!

wow!
you'll have nice buds for sure.
