that all depends on the actual wattage of your 2700k light. never heard of a 68 actual watt cfl, but if it exists it is a huge light. if the 2700k is roughly the same size as the 6500k then that is 68 equivalent watts, with an actual wattage close to your other lights - and in that case you do not have enough light. 75 actual watts is good for one plant.

check out my cfl grow for an idea of wattage, about 2100 like watts and 780 actual, or close to those numbers, just harvested last night will post pics later tonight.

Im going to buy at least a 42 watt 6500k today if i can find one bigger at home depot then i'll buy it. since i'm still vegging should i use only 6500 k or is a combo the best idea?
