Hello guys! my second grow is going pretty good so far, a little slow may be... and now i have the possibility to add two more bulb inside my closet, but i got a "efficiency dilemma"...


if you were to chose one of these, ¿what would it be?

1.------ 2 x 60Watts 4000k CFL
2.-------2 x 14Watts 6500k CFL

Thank you so much!!

I'd probably go with the 6500k as I've read that anything between 3000k - 5000k is useless for the plants, I might be wrong though.

Option 2. Option one K is dumb. People say to use like 2500k for flowering, so far I'm still using 6500k and It looks promising, have yet to try the 25000k to create a debate.

the 14w are not really worth the heat they will add compared to how much they help imo, they are pretty weak. 2 23w or 2 26w only cost $1 or $2 and just about any store that carries light bulbs should have those or very similar ones that should work. i'd try to get 1 2700k and 1 6500k to add. the 60w 4000k is even less worthwhile than the weak 14 watt bulbs when it comes to heat they put out and how much they help and how much energy they use though. i . so if i had absolutely no choice in the matter but to choose between the 14w and 60w i'd use the 14 watt bulbs.
