Hi Everyone!
Am flowering now. I have 4 warm white 43 watt cfl's (one right over the top of each plant) and 3 daylight 23 watters to fill in the space between the plants. Turn them probably 2-3 times a day. Fans blowing all over the place. Upper 70's for temp. Do you think this is sufficient for flowering. Maybe go with all warm whites? Was thinking the daylights would still offer some veg growth though. More so than warms. And yes...I know an hps would be better. Next time.
THANKS!!
You might want to use ALL warm bulbs for flower....you can swap out the daylight temp bulbs and place more red spectrum bulbs in there.
ALL THE CFL YOU CAN GIVE IS ALL YOU CAN GIVE.
So make them all warm....you want them flowering, not vegging.
The only real benefit of daylight temp bulbs at flower stage is MH for the UV-B rays and CFL for lower branch lighting to prevent rapid defoilization.
LOAD THEM UP WITH CFL'S WARM.
marc how many plants u doin with that many flouros if u dont mind me askin
Thanks HD. Warms it is. Less heat to deal with too then! You should be a moderator!
Red, Sorry I can't devulge that information. HA! I've got 472 going right now...HA! Sorry I'm in a strange mood today...every day. Four is what I have going. I'm hoping they'll all be chicks but the chances of that are slim. I've got one that really smells of skunk that I'm pretty excited about. Super low to the ground and pretty much reaks. I named it Stinky. If some turn out to me dudes then I'll have lots of lights shining on the chicks! They'll like that.
