Cfl augment

  1. So I'm embarking on my first grow finally. Always wanted to try it but being in the military killed that idea. I got out and had a VA doc suggest smoking for PTSD and he said growing would be a good hobby to take my mind off things. I've done a ton of research and have a question about my light set up.

    I'm starting my first grow with just three plants. Im using a 4 ft 4 bulb t5 setup with all 6500k lights. I also have an extra 8 cfls at 5000k 32 watts. Should I even bother using them to augment the t5s or am I just wasting energy for no purpose? Should I replace the cfls with 2700k for flowering? Or should I replace two of the t5 bulbs with 2700k bulbs for flowering? Or is there another option I should consider (other than upgrading to Hps or MH lights)?
