Hi there, im growing 3 "mazer x white rhino" fems in soil, they veged for 7 weeks under a 250 watt blue spectrum cfl and are now 4 weeks into the flowering stage under a 200 watt red spectrum and looking very well.
Here's my problem, when i checked my plants this morning I noticed half of my red spectrum bulb had died and I can't get another for a few weeks.
So should i leave the red spectrum in with added household cfl's or put back in the blue spectrum?

Any input would be greatly appreciated

use them both, the blues wont hurt just wont use as much of them. the cfls can help too til you can replace the reds

Thank you for your quick reply, and i like your idea but I only have 1 light fitting so I can only use 1 large bulb for the next few days until I get a second one. Which bulb would you recommend until I get sorted?
