Hey, Just wondering if these will be ok for growing, any input welcome. Im not currently using them but have a bunch laying around. Cheers Mike
Perfect cfl's for growing...& with cfl's I would use EXACTLY what your plants want... for veg you want 5500-6700k these lights have a bright white sometimes blueish color For flower you can either change out all the lights and change them to 2700-3300k or warmer spectrum lighting for the 12/12 schedule. When I grew with cfl's however I read growing with a mixed spectrum of 2700-3300k warmer bulbs and 5500-6700k brighter bulbs. That was perfect for my grows imo...you decide how you want to grow with the lights, but no matter what you have around the house, make sure it is as close as it can be to this spectrum, should say on the bulb. Also wattage...for one plant people recommend 100watts...any additional plants add 50 watts...personally just get an hps and call it a day.....but I'm jumping ahead Later
Awesome, i have 5 of those currently, ill place them 18" away for the veg stage(current stage) and i have one of these 430watt (picture below) for the flowering stage.
