Here ya go....Cool White is for Veg...6500k Spectrum. For veg. you want warm white in the 2700k spectrum. For 15 buck you can certianly add something to your collection of bulbs. Both home depot and walmart have a good selection of cfls.

Peace, Love, and Happiness

Firing the hoe?

Why would you want to fire the hoe? Everyone loves a hoe.


So this is what I got;

PHILIPS
EnergySaver
MINI TWISTER Compact Fluorescent Bulb
---------------------------------------
23w=100w
DAYLIGHT
Lasts 9 Years

LIGHTOUTPUT 1,600 LUMENS










I now have 2 of them and paid 13 bucks, there were no deals happening on them at Dome Hepot.

they had no cool white anything, lots of soft white and bright white and warm white so I figured I couldn't go wrong with the word daylight

Yeah, as said above, the 6500k cool blue lights work best, and go for the highest wattage per bulb you can. The ones I use are the 42w(200wequiv) cool blue bulbs. You can generally pick them up at any hardware store for just under $10.

6500K = Daylight <-----Best For Veg
5100k = Arctic Brite <----Ok for Veg
4100k = Cool White <-----Useless
3500k = Warm White <-----Almost useless
2700k = Warm White <--- Best for Flowering
