I am using 6500. And 3000k tubes in two ballasts as well as a couple 6500k cfls with cones. And no its in the corner of a room that I boxed in. I had a lot of lighting issues in the beginning I had the bulbs like four feet away. Fixed it now though.

The top ballast is like 2 inches off the tops the side lights are all within 4 inches of the plants. I'm a little over three weeks of flowering.

I know with the t8's I am using the bulbs are just touching the plants and they love it

How many 6500k and how many 3000k? you should have more 3000k (2700k I use) during flowering 2:1 2700:6500 or all 2700k (which I use)

Think I should replace all the ballasts with 3000? I tried going with 2700 but we live in a small town the nearest Walmart is sixty miles out nearest lowes is a hundred. If I do replace all ballast bulbs I will still have the two 6500 cones will that be enough the only reason I wonder is the 6500s are so much brighter will I starve em of light.

Well it's the different spectrum's of light that the plants need in different stages, they need more 2700k in flowering 2 6500k cones and the rest 3000k would be great.

They may not look as bright but it's the frequency of the light not the lumen level, you get about the same lumen output on a 100watt 2700k as you would on a 100watt 6500k.

They'll love the extra red (2700k) light in there so give it to them :) (6500k is blue)
