Huh, usually they are 6500k not 7000k. But that one should be ok for veg.

I don't believe that the "12000k" will work for veg or flower. I've never heard of a cfl bulb emitting light in that high of a range? Are you sure it's a 12000k light temp?

2700k should be the easiest light to find. If it's not marked on the package by number, it'll be labeled as "soft white".

You can see "12000k" right on the bulb.

I think if you can exchange that bulb for one in 5000k-6500k you should.

I'm no pro, but I reckon that color won't be a whole lot of good to you.

12000k willl be fine infact 12-10000k lights are a little better than 65000k or 7000k, but thay do have just a little too much deep blue, i would say a 2-1 ratio with the 7000k to 12000k is fine.

IF you can find 5000k-5700k, these bulbs will emit about the same amount of red at the 2700k, but more blue than them, i would just swap these in for your 6500k for flower.

thanx, i will do it 6500K 23W X8 for veg circle
Hmmm...

If I was you, I'd get 4x23w 6500k, and then like, 6x23w 2700k. As it gets bigger add the 2700k in, and then once it's in full bloom run 2x23w 6500k and 6x23w 2700k.

That's me anyways.
