The higher color temperature will promote bushier growth and slow internodal spacing drastically.

GREAT INFO...

Garden Knowm Reviewed by Garden Knowm on . Flourescent lighting and lumens question... A question regardiing those 4-foot flourescent tubes...Manufacturers sell them labeled with stuff like "soft white", "natural daylight", and any other kinds of adjectives. These bulbs are also labeled with the amount of lumens it puts out. My question: what lightbulbs work best for vegging? Lightbulubs with a higher lumen output? Rating: 5
