read the Thread on Compact Flurocents It will really help then go to Walkmart website and find out what you gotzzz so you dont waste Time with those precious seedlings... And you want Cfls Close to your plants the closer the better 1.5 to 3 inches at all times of the grow

This is "wrong"...I use walmart 8 dollar cfl's no particular spectrum for all my cloning and early rooting and have seen as good or better success than with my 250hps. The walmart cfl's are more on the blue/white side of the spectrum I would guess though...as are most fluoro's unless you spend the money for enhanced agri' cfl's. peace:smokin:

p.s. It is a misconception that you have to go through all that trouble to match spectrum for seedlings...Or, that you have to veg with MH and flower with HPS...It enhances the grow a bit, but from my experience, the plants grow great in either spectrum. there are still quite a few Northern and european growers that swear by MH all the way.
