I have 2 cfls (5000k) rated at about 8000 lumens. When it comes time to flower the plants should I replace those with 2 8000 lumen cfls(2700k). or should I use all 4 cfls?

it would be better to double or triple the lumens it will work with any number of lumens just the more lumens you have the higher chance it will be better. and yes you want to change to the 2700 or do a mix of both for a more full spectrum

I didnt know if having a greater lumen output was better than sticking just to the 2700k lights. thanks for the info.

its always better to have more lumens, remember we as indoor gardeners are trying to replicate the sun
