I'm looking for some light to add for flowering.

On 1000bulbs I found a 105w at 4100k that is about the same price as two 42w 2700k.

I already have four 23w 6500k and two 23w 2700k.

so which should I get, the big 4100k or the two smaller 2700k's?

Thanks for the help :dance:

I recently faced the same question, and I got the big 105-watters, and they seem to be doing fine. If I need 42-watters, there is a WalMart nearby, but they don't sell the 105-watters at all, so if I was gonna order from a website, it seemed to be more logical to order what I can't get locally.

Yeah, not a bad idea. Unfortunately, the walmart here recently stopped carrying the 42 watters. I shoulda jumped on those.

But what do you think about the color temps? are your lights 4100k jam, if so how do you like them?

Yes, 4100K, and the plants seem to like them just fine, so I do too. ;)
