cfl question

[chronic352]

ok so i got 2 27 watt cfls 2700k but there not orange looking at all more like a daylight 6500k, is a 2700k cfl suppose to look orange or what?

[kdspecial]

Yes a 2700K light should have a orange tint to it, From all the bulbs I have seen. But perhaps a Specific grow light might not.

2700K (kelvins) refers to the Light warmth So it shoudl be warm looking you klnow...

My guess is the box was misslabeled or somthing to that effect,.

i dunno it says on the two bulbs that they are 2700k, i also got 2 t12s that are 3000k and they arnt that orange there the kitchen and bath ones, i night go back to the store i bought them from and ask why they arnt orange,

[Bree1978]

mine don't look orange really.......just like a normal light bulb. More yellow than red really. I doubt they are mislabled...you may seem a little off if you go to the store and make such a complaint. I'm sure they are fine....:jointsmile: Bree

what the hell you talking about

[the yeag]

where should I start....

[chronic352]

if youor gonna say shit like about how much light i got on my plant then eat shit

[the yeag]

nope..i thought your noobness deserved a break from the pontiff, but if you insist i will enlighten you. going to the store and asking a clerk about the kelvin temp of a bulb used for house lighting is stupid, for one the dumb ass clerk will not know what your talking about...kelvins what? here is a red party light . do you want fries with that? reason two you will attract unnecessary attention to yourself...think about it man.

Please stop growing, I would bet my paycheck against your allowance that when you need nutrients you will ask the nursery employee some question like when do i put my plants on a 12/12 cycle to get fruit off of them...they will laugh and know you are growing. growing pot is not for everyone!

Tell me why that question would raise a red flag with the greenhouse clerk and i will help you.

hmm well i went to a light supply store not wal mart or some shit so they new exactly what im talking about they dont know what im using the bulb for so what would it matter they have no proof that im growing marijuana so before you start jumping to conclusions get the right information they cant call the cops saying oh yeah someone just came in asking for a low kelvined crl so we believe they have a grow op

[the yeag]

your exactly right....YOU know it all best of luck

Seriously dude... just get the ones that say 'cool white' on the box. (I suspect you are still vegging... it does not seem that you have made it to the stage where you could even get a plant to the flowering point yet... no offense... it's just that you definitely need to do a lot of reading)
Don't bug the clerk.
Why else would some young kid be all interested in the kelvin temperature of a light?

"They" can start watching you with little or no evidence of wrongdoing on your part whatsoever - and once they start watching you, they will catch you fucking up and exposing yourself to prosecution.

And just why would the guy at the "light shop" possibly narc on you? Ever hear of "Crimestoppers" or such similar community programs? If they rat you out and you're successfully prosecuted, the little rat gets cash up to $1000. All for just repeating a suspicion he had about some kid asking weird questions. That's not to mention that some people will just rat you out because they can, miserable jerks that they are.

How about that?

[chronic352]

im not gonna get caught ill put money on that shit

[Lanietheberner]

That's what OJ is still saying!!!!!

all you people need to chill the hell out.


my first question is.
how the fuck did you become a mod?
seriously, not in any of my daYS have i seen such an immature unknowledge-able mod.
i beleive that should be revoked.
the job of a mod is to HELP not shut down new growers.
he wasnt at all being un-orderly in his post, only after you provoked him.

edit: i just looked at youre thing again, your not a mod? but you are trying to impersonate one with the logo? or am i wrong.

alright...now my 2 cents on this grow.


k. buddy, you were in good thought to ask if the bulbs were the right ones, doesnt mean the clerk will know when you go to ask, but yuh never know?!

a bit about paranoia. alot of pot growers suffer from this in severe cases.
look around these forums.
see how many members we have?
now go to another cite.. icmag? og?(when it was still up) hg420?
im suree if you added all those people together.. its prolly only half of those who grow pot.
and.. thats ALOT of people.. the government isnt going to waste thousands of tax dollars to investigate and raid a grow op containing a plant and 2 store bought CFLs that im sure millions of people use in there homes.

greenhouses are a good place to go for nutrients if you dont have a hydro shop.
but around these folks you must be more stealth i suppose, dont blatenly blurt out "hey im growing pot" and they wont know. haha so its fine im sure.





now regarding this grow.
keep those lights. go to walmart.. get a pack of 3-26 watters, should be 7 bucks an some change, get some Y connectors and fill some sockets up.
set your plant under it and wallah.
instant grow.

as for the other things that become issues down the line, im a frequent thread roamer and im sure ill be back to this thread in the future, so feel free to ask, and i know there are more kind people on these forums.

feel free to pm with questions.


you can argue my post rating
but that doesnt argue my experience.


stay safe all.
