using CFLs, why use 6500k (day) bulbs for veg, then switch to 2700k for flowering?
Newbie here.
Just my input, from a biological standpoint. (Which I'm not a newbie at.
) 5000-6500K during vegatation and then ~2700k during flower makes much sense. Lets also remember the long light cycle during veg and ~ 12/12 during flower...
This type of plant grows during the first few months of the year and then flowers (naturally) in the fall. Naturally the sun is more intense in the spring and summer and also during that time gradually stays "up" longer. (Think 6500K and long light cycle.) Then, twoards Sept/Oct, as the earths axis tilts, the angle of the sun as it relates to hitting the earth changes, and is less intense. That's when it gets darker earlier (think 2700k and 12/12) and the plant would naturally bloom.
To me it all seems realitive.
On the other hand, are plants and animals (and bacteria, viruses, etc.) very adaptable. Yes!!!!!
