Go with the fluro tube and use the cfl as side lights. Thats what I did with my first grow right now. I'm using 24" T5 HO ripped from my aquarium setup. um yea CFL alone just wasn't cutting it.i also have a question here..
which would be better for optimal growth at seedling age with just cotyls and first set
a blue/purple florescent tube 24" 75W, or like this 3 25w cfls?
i had my seedlings under cfl's and then i bought the flou tube and they have exploded with growth.. after the 4th+ set of leaves its getting HPS
but wondering for starting, cfl or fluro tube
