Currently using 2 26w 2700k CFL's on 4 tiny clones.

Was wondering what lighting I should be shooting for.

Going out and getting a y splitter so I can have 4 bulbs.

What kind do I want? Would 4 26w 2700k be enuf? I've heard 2700k is fine for veg and flower, even though 6500k has been mentioned many times for veg. But does it rly matter?

I have always been told that direct light to clones is not good keep the lights a distance(6 to 10 inches away). My first clones died becuase of direct light.
For clones I would use a daylight bulb, my addig is one bulb for one clone. 4 clones I would stay with 3 to 4 bulbs at a distance adn always keep the babies watered. SUPERTHRIVE works wonders for the clones also.
