If you are planning to use flourescents (which i am because of my small grow space and i cant afford to let out any more heat) use cool white flourescents for veg, and warm white combined with cool white (put lights as close as possible) for flowering and for clones.

I have herd that using cool white and warm white together from the start bring exellent results. try to use 1200 lumes per square foot. so per square foot have 1 cool white and 1 warm white....if you understand what i mean....? Dont use and aluminuim like reflectors, they bring out alot of heat. Use mylar. Or paper, photo paper which are resonbley cheap, shiny side out.

peace!
mosaka Reviewed by mosaka on . Are energy saving lamps any good? Hi everyone, I was told that energy saving lamps work just as well as fluorescent tubes but thought I should come and ask the experts before I set them all up. They say they are the equivalent of 150w, are warm white and produce 2700k. The length of the actual lamp part is 4 inches, I've bought 6 of them and am planning to put them in desk lamps in an indoor shelf setup. What do you guys think? Rating: 5
