    Veg & flower on same bulbs? Help ??

    Hi, it costs e alot to get CFL lights and i was wondering if I could veg on my 6 6500K 1450Lume CFL's and then flower off the same bulbs but change light to 12/12?

    Would that work or would i have to get 2700k bulbs for flower?

    2700k bulbs would give better results but yes you can flower with 6500K

    yeah would keep them a bit more compact, what about switching out only 3 of those for 2700's... not as expensive as getting 6 and would probably give better results

    ah ok, I might just do that when flowering comes around. Swap 3 that is to 2700k.

    Cheers

    I'm not sure how much cfl's are there in Austrailia but a 4 pack of soft white bulbs (2700K - 3500K) only costs about $6-8 US dollars.

    It'd be in your best interest to go ahead and just swap bulbs once flowering comes along. :thumbsup:

    yea how much $ are they there? i'm kind of curious now. But I still think with just swaping out 3 you would be ok. like mh together with hps.

    Its $6.95 for a 23watt CFL 1450 lumes.
    I cant go any higher in watts as the base fixture (BC - Batton Connection) is the only fixture I can buy cheaply as ES type fittings are expensive but support higher watts (26 watt +)

    But yes, i have bought 3 of each im just in desperate need of money for fans >< Ive already lost one plant to heat

    Well done, but damn that is pricey for one 23 watter... yet cheap compared to HID bulbs.
    you lost one? what are your temps?
