Lumens vs. Kelvin?

[DOUGAL25]

rying to keep it to one bulb per plant, so I don't have to buy more outlets and stuff.

You can just buy a Y-socket adapter to fit two CFL's in one socket...the adapter is under 2$ at any local hardware store or walmart

So would you say its more important to have the high lumens or the better kelvin temp?

I've vegged a single plant under 2700K bulbs(5 bulbsx 2400 lumens/bulb = 12000 lumens)and it worked fine...I would have had less stretch if I used 6500K, but it wasn't anything too drastic to work with. It was even a sativa dominant hybrid.

Your best bet it to spend 2$ on a Y-socket and use the (2) 35w 6500K cfls. I would suggest a couple more bulbs as vegging progresses - you wanna meet the 5,000 lumens/sq. ft minimum. (those 2 35w's would cover just less than a 1'x1' area)
