Hey. I was just wondering... which color temps do you use for veg and flower? I'm going to buy some 55 watt spiral CFL's in 2700K and 5000K, but which should I use for veg and which should I use for flowering?

I was told by a reliable source to use 6500 k for veg and 2700 k for flowering or better yet a combination of both which is what I'm doing.

2700 for flowering and the 5000s for vegging but i would use both for flowering and even both for vegging to get more light. cfl light spectrum is not that intense as they are all coated and even tri-coated

^^ correct the plant needs both spectrum colors in both veg and bloom. but more 65k or as close to it in veg and more 27k in bloom. a mixture is ideal
