CFL Lighting Help

[jonnycab]

Hi

I am in Vegative growth at the moment, question:

Should I use 2 x 115 CFL Blue

or

should I use 2 x 115 CFL Blue + 1 x 225 CFL Red

Dont know the answer myself, but the three lights get
quite hot due to shade size and cabinet size (not much
room for heat to rise in cabinet at sides).

I see no reason to mix during veg. My notes suggest faster growth using all blue.

Really, just 250w (these are envirogrow 12" floros) of floros.

If thats the case I will cut the red now.

It wont hurt but IMHO if you are going to burn the power, just put in another daylight CFL.

More light is always better if the heat can be managed.
