So while I was fiddling with my rigged cool white 24"bulb that was flickering on and off, I managed to break the cheap-o ballast on it. I tried to switch the bulb into the other light which I didnt rig (came with warm white) and broke it in my attempt.

SO, now im stuck with a flowering box with 6 warm white CFL's and no tube lights.

My Question: Will I be okay with buying a daylight 5-6,000K cool CFL and using just IT and ONE of my warm whites for my veg? Then once flower comes, turn on the other 4 Warm White (2-3,000K) in addition to those and get good results? And can you buy a good daylight/Veg bulb at Home Depot?

Im hella fucking pissed I broke BOTH my original lights and today hasn't been going my way whatsoever. Please, Enlighten Me. :(

If it was me, I'd just keep 'em all on. Even though it doesn't need as much red, I don't think it would hurt to have them all on.

Yeah but with just one of each its a lot less intense light for veg, which is what my clones will need. I have a hunch throwing on 100W more of CFL power during flower might just trick em' into growing denser :)
