2700k expensive, 3000k work?

so i have a total of 14 T8 32W 6500k vegging my babies, now flower is only but a month away, i need to look for red spec bulbs, sad fact is i cant find any 2700k, unless i want to pay like 600 $ for a box, witch is crap because for that il go buy a 200W CFL red spec from my hydro store.

3000k are redily available and cheap... would that do it or should i just go buy one of those CFL's ?

yah, the 3k ones would do you just fine.. in fact, i do believe that is the k i have in my t5's.

ok, see i was going to basically do 2 2700k out of every 3 bulbs but maybe il add a few extra 3000 instead of 6500k for a touch more red spec. sounds good, il try it and see how it goes.

thanx

i even have one of the 6500k's in with my other bulbs as well.. i always think its good to give them more spectrum.. after all, the sun doesn't just give off one spectrum off light right..

IMO t5's are no good for flowering. You can get a hps cheap or a big arse CFL cheap on ebay. Just my 2 cents.
