Will mixing two different spectrum bulbs do anything wierd like cancel one of the wavelenghts out? I have added 3 42w CFL's at 2700k to my grow for flower. I am leaving 3 24w CFL's at 6500k in there till I can afford 3 more bulbs. Will the two spectrums interfere and should I remove the lower 6500k's or can they be fine togater and give my plants the benifit of more lumens?

Na man yours lights are fine together...i grew my last plant with both spectrums of light becuase i didnt have my 250 watt hps at the time and the mixed spectrum worked great and i still got a good yield off my plant so your fine and keep growing...good luck

letsburn06 is right. One thing to consider.....most folks say when flowering, to use a three to one ratio of flowering spectrum bulbs to veg spectrum bulbs for best results.
