balanced spectrum can't hurt. i actually just posted this earlier today. i've read again and again that a 1:3 ratio is best. so (hypothetically) if someone was vegging with 12 bulbs, it'd be 9 6500k & 3 2700k. flower would be 9 2700k and 3 6500k.

one more note on FIMing... doing a FIM requires the plant to recover and therefore increase veg time. take the good with bad, right?

oh and on cloning... justanotherbozo has a good thread on a DIY bubble cloner. i made one from this and it works rather nicely. perhaps a thought. let me getcha a link here...
