ok i just went out and bought some fluorescent spiral bright white bulbs... i was wondering if these were ok to use? i got 4 of them (came as one pack) and plan on using them all at the same time. problem is when i put in one of them it came out as like a yellowish color...are they ok? need some good feedback please. all will be appreciated! i put my plant outdoors right now,so it could get tha sun's light, but will need to come back in once night hits, and i need this squared away. please and thank you!:smokin:

what watt are your bulbs? with cfls you can keep them around 2" from the top of the plant. what kelvin are they? as in 6500k. should say on the pack.

[catchmeblowingood420]

its says 60 watt equivalent, brightness 900 lumens, and at the top of it its says, 160 678 bright white

dont go with the equivelent. what is the actual watt? and they will be fine to use. remember the more the better. im currently using household energy saving bulbsw, got a max of36 actual watts. pritty shit. will be upgradin to a 125w cfl throught the week. post a pic up of your setup and your plant.

here are some photos of my plant is it to close to the light, and does it look healthy

lol disregard the mj photo, (micheal jordan, not mary jane!)

its looking good pall. get them closer to the light, about 1 and a half inch from the the bulb. cfls aint bad with heat. your plant is stretchin for more lumens. all in all its all good. whats your temp and humidity? check my grow out on First Ever grow in this section. good luck.

[adiitaff]

no prob mate, im on my first grow and i need all the help i can get, so i know exactly how you feel.

[catchmeblowingood420]

yea exactly.. even when your doing the right thing for your plant, you doubt yourself and just think theres something to do better since your so inexperienced.. atleast thats how it is with me, aha :smokin:
