From my expierence I find that using a 3 to 1 ratio seems to work well. For example, during veg using 3, 6500K lights and 1, 2700K light..... Or during flower using 3, 2700K lights and 1, 6500K light.

Right now in my flower room I have 4, 13W, 2700K CFL's..... 4, 26W, 2700K cfl's..... 2, 26W, 6500K CFL's..... And a 24in, 20W UVB flourescent tube.....

Hope that helps a bit.

excellent thank you

thats the same way i setup my veg and flowering rooms.

3:1 ratio works the best for me too. i also noticed with the 25% blue spectrum during flowering i get more crystallized buds and higher potency.

For DAMN sure! I never realized how many more crystals could form by swaping out 2 of the 2700K with 2 of the 65ooK during flower! Do it!

i was wondering this as well.... im running a 250w hps but i would like some supplemental lighting in there in the form of hang down cfls - big ones

do it! you wont regret it
