Natural sunglight vs. daylight bulbs

[headshake]

didn't suggest that, we were talking about using mixed lighting vs straight cfl, didn't say anything about all natural vs all cfl.

actually the name of the title is natural sunlight vs. daylight bulbs.

Anything that enters an indoor grow space can bring in 'nasties', unless you have an airlock, and a go through a double barrier routine before entering your grow space, you will be contaminating the area every time you check your plants.

while this is true, why would you want to put them at more risk than they need to be? and you might be bringing bacteria, mold or other airborne agents, but i don't most people have bug larvae or actually bugs on them. you are one of the only growers i've seen on these boards that recommends this. (not saying that you are wrong, but just because it works for you doesn't mean it's advisable.)

good growing!
