Hello everyone. Happy new year. I hoe this year will be alittle bit better than the last for everyone. I have 2 bubblicious plants from nirvana seeds. I have them in 1 gallon pots and they are about 3 weeks old. I have had them under a 2ft x 4bulb T5 from the start. I am planning on going 12/12 next week. I was wanting to know if its ok to flower under the T5 with 6500k bulbs or is it better to use the 2700k cfls I have? I dont have any 2700k T5s thats why I am asking. any help would be great.

i would leave the 6500k's for the for couple of weeks of 12/12 (they are going to veg pretty heavy and reach)
then switch to the 2700k's fo the remainder they will want more red light for the flower cycle

Yeah here's some advice. Buy the damned T5 2700K bulbs for your fixture. CFL? -you better have a lot.

$30.88 for 5 of them. Add a jeweler's loupe for trichome inspection to get free shipping over $35.
