First CFL grow

[yabatab]

I know this is a little late, but no one answered your lighting question. Those 42W bulbs @ Wal Mart are for flowering. They carry the ones for veg in lower watts @ my local Wal Mart. For veg stage, you should use the blue packs which have a color temp of 6500K. If it doesn't say 6500k, don't assume that they are. Not that you can't grow them with those, but I just wanted to clarify for future trips to Wal Mart

Thanks, I noticed they had an orange hue to them. The color temp
wasn't on the package and I didn't even think to look at the numbers
on the page I looked up on those lights. The light temp is 2,700 which
is definitely warm. Well they are in flowering now so they are just right
for this stage LOL.

If I use CFL's again I'll keep that in mind. And thanks again on clearing
that up on those lights for me :thumbsup:
