:leaf:hey guys:mrgreen: im currently vegging a 1 week old plant under one 5500k 23w cfl...been keeping it about an inch away and its been growing pretty good, i see new growth everyday...been watering every 2-3 days when its not wet 2 inches down anymore...leaves look green...no yellow spots or anything

:leaf:right now i have 0$ invested in this im just experimenting until i save up some money to do this right...and right now i have like 3 warm white cfl's laying around not sure what the actual spectrum values are they just say 120v 60Hz 18w .295A, but i know they're warm because when i turned them on they're a lot more red then my 5500k

:leaf:so my question is this...i know i need to get some more 6500k lights on the plant, but for now should i add the warm spectrum lights? or would this just cause problems...or would it be ok to add 2 or 3 for the whole veg, then switch the one 5500k to warm when i flower...

:leaf:any input will help, thanks guys i can add some pics if u think it'll help but i dont think it would for this question

peace...:blsmoke:

using the 2,7ooK lights should be fine people perfer to use 6,5ooK for veg and 2,7ook for flowering
:lol::lol:well made a trip to walmart...bought a splitter and a couple of 26w 6500k's...
so right now i have 2 little sprouts and my 5 or 6" plant under 1 27w 5500 cfl, and 2 26w 6500 cfls...theres also an 18w 3000k...i also got some MG potting soil with moisture control...seemed pretty good for right now...

should i just take the 3000k out?

thanks take a look at the pics and let me know if you think there's something i should do:dunce:
