Do you keep any Blue CFLs going during Flowering?

My plant has been in flowering for just 2 weeks using the following including nutes mixed with boosters

1x 7000 Lumen 5500k RED/Blue BIG CFL
2x 2800 Lumen 3000k Red CFL
2x 2800 Lumen 6500k Blue CFL
1x 168 LED RED
1x 168 LED Blue

looks good man

guess u didnt veg long...


* still in empty apartment... going to new one now *

I vegged for a month in a half it was meant to be small if I had a better camera i could show you the crystals.

Question.
Blue spectrum is low Kelvin's correct?
Red spectrum is higher?

No... Red = 2700k
Blue/white = 6400k

Alright thanks for clearin' that up for me,
somebody told me otherwise.

I have two 2700k Indoor Growth lights
and 4 26 CFL lights (Cool White)

Should I veg on the CFl's and when I flower use the Indoor Lights?

Yes add the 2 2700k (2700k is Meant for flowering) once it is time for you to flower.

Thanks Mate,
I appreciate your help.

I use the best of both worlds. Meaning read and blue spectrum Cfl's. I find this mimicks mother nature the best.

Very true. Having a mix of spectrums is best...but be sure to concentrate on the blue end when vegging, and the red end while flowering. Another person said a ratio of 3:1 is good, i use a ratio of 5:2, but i also use a 4100K bulb instead of the 2700K. When i flower i use the 42W 2700K CFL's, and just keep the 4100K and take out the 6500K's, but i also have a 400W HPS for flowering, and just use the cfl's as extra lighting for around the sides of the plants.
