are those the right ones that i am looking for(2700K)?
Well 6500k are typically refered to as "daylight", "sunlight" or "cool" whereas 2700k is an orangish "warm". :)
Remember: 6500k for veg, and 2700k for flower. :)
yeah i already got the 6500K ones, but i cant find the 2700K ones. it doesnt say it anywhere on the package
Bingo! Give the man a cigar.Quote:

You can always find out one way or another if you want to be sure. Sometimes it will be on the ballast of the bulb instead of the package, sometimes only a model number will be there or on the package. In that case you can usually find the K by finding the manufactures web site and comparing it to their catalog or spec sheets. If not, you can always call or email them. What we really want is 2450 K, if memory serves (check the chart), but all we can do is come close to that number and, that is pretty rare. The reddish, or warm, or 2700K bulbs are the cheapest to manufacture, and therefore the most common and least expensive for us. If it's a cool, or daylight, or 6000K bulb, or in that range, the manufacture wants to make darn sure you know that, so it's going to something about that on the package.
I hope that answered your question.
yep answered that question perfectly. i thought that might be how it work but i didnt want to go buy the lights and come back and have it be the same as the ones i already had. probably go pick them up tomorrow and give em a try.
the leaves are dropping quite a lot again and i dont know why. i havent been watering as much. about every third day when the soil gets dry. what could it be from? :[
There's a lot of reasons leaves can look droopy. Both over and under watering do that, but if you say it only does it when the soil gets dry, then maybe it is from under watering. For me, I know it's time to water if the leaves start to droop a little, but if I'm on the ball sometimes I can water just before that happens. Watch for the dirt pulling away from the edges of the container, and also after the soil dries out a couple times you should be able to know if it's time, from how light the plant and pot has gotten. If it's really light, or much lighter than normal, there may not be much, if any moisture in the soil. You can also stick your finger down into the soil to feel it, or invest in a $5 moisture meter, which usually work OK. The $100 ones are a lot better though.
hmm.. yeah the soil started to crack and pull away from the edges now that the soil is drying. i meant i water when the soil looks dry and starts to crack. i am about to water them here pretty soon so i will see if that helps.
