Which Fluorescents Do I need to Flower?

[Completely Stoned]

Im doing a Box Of Green grow and I have 2 20 watt 24" florescent bulbs; one Warm White and one Cool White. When I start to flower the clones that I put in there, after they've gotten closer towards the screen, I plan on throwin' in some more light. Which CFL bulbs am I gonna wanna be looking for on the package to mimic an HPS's light spectrum? I'm gonna leave the 24'' bulbs in there as well. Any help would be appreciated!

For flower you want the "warm" or "soft white" cfl's - around 2,700k.

Thanks man! And another question that MAYBE you'll know the answer to?

Helicopters- They suck.

If a helicopter was to fly over my house with heat detection, would a STEEL roof like the newer Log Cabin Mountain Land Style houses are being constructed with, be enough to keep things safe?

If all you're runnign is floro's there shouldn't be a problem. Some growers time there HPS lights for the evening because the choppers don't fly at night around here.

They dont look for the fluoros man... they look for the heat from the plants. Cannabis is different in that nature from every other plant lol.

for flo tubes since u live in the states go to wally world and get the kitchen and bath lights
they are the right spectrum...

SO the Soft white and Warm white bulbs are better for flowering huh? Which ones the very very VERY best? I wantthe best results I can get with fluoros. Which I think is probably possible to achieve considering that its contained in such a small space under a screen.
