Im looking for some CFLs to start a grow space, and I cant find the spectum numbers on nearly any bulbs I look at. The only bulbs ive found that list it so far are nVision daylights, which are 5500k.
Is there a brand/type of bulb that someone could give me thats at 6700k?
Walmart, Lowe's, HomeDePot... all of them have the bulbs you want. If it doesn't show the specific spectrum, get "daylight" or "cool white". My bulbs are 6,500k. 5,500k is actually a pretty good spectrum, if that's all you can get.

Get an Envirolite, they come in 125w, 200w, or 250w in both 2700k and 6700k. Not sure if you get them in USA since I think its a UK company. Envirolites , check on ebay or other internet sites, you will prob be able to find them.
I got GE just look all over the pack some hide it on there. If you still cant find it listen to Pharma.
I couldnt find it anywhere on the GE packages. The nVisions I was talking about are like the envirolites, they sell them at Home Depot. They only carry up to 100w though. The highest daylight bulbs our Walmart carries is 60w. I'll hit up Lowes today and if I cant find a 6700k, then I'll stick with the 5500k's. Thanks guys
Light bulbs, Rope Lights, Halogen and Fluorescent bulb - 1000-Bulbs - The Light Bulb Superstore
that webpage sells what you're looking for in high wattages too
and yea you'll be fine to veg w/5500k if that's all you get
I bought a bunch of 65 watt cfl's from 1000 bulbs. They have the most bang for the buck - about US$19/each - and have the regular light socket base. The bigger bulbs use a mogul base and they are so darn big they're a bit more difficult to work with - IMO.Quote:

I have a 5x5x6 grow with 2 from each spectrum for the whole grow.
