hi,

thanks for all the wonderful things i've learned from this board in the past 24 hours.

i have a question regarding CFL's. i have 8 26watt warms and 4 26watt cools. i know to use primarily cools during vegetation, then switch to warm for flowering.

my question is.. what percentage of light should come from each kind at each phase? do i want 100% cools during vegetation? or should i just put in all the cools and then as many warms as can fit? should i gradually switch over to mostly warms, and if so, at what point? do i want all warms at the end, or is it good to keep one or two cools in there the whole time?

perhaps there is a good pre-written guide on this somewhere, because i know this question doesn't just come up with CFL's.

thanks very much! :thumbsup:
