Prepping for flowering...1ST GROW!!! K(color) temperature question...

OK...2 ladies
--(4) 100 w cfl daylight w/ aluminum reflector- 50% lumens increase.
24/7,(1) extra low w. fluoro tube i had layin around
-- Bag seed...almost positive they are skunk tho
-- 6 weeks and 7 weeks from germ.
-- Fox Farm soil

The question is, when I go into flowering, should I leave the daylights with the girls or take them out when I transfer over to 2700k temperature lighting? I know the more lumens the better, but should the lumens all be at 2700 temp. or is it ok to mix the 6500's right in there with 'em?

I keep mine mixed, half adn half, 2700 and 6500, and two 5100s.

Thanks Roseman! I will make sure to keep them all in there, then. I think that it will be a successful outcome!!! Still prayin' for Ladies!!!

thanks roseman for advice,but i have a topic about this issue,and everbody says me :
''you should use only 2700k for flowering''

I actually use 14 to 18 bulbs, and I used a majority of the 6500 for VEGGING and a majority of 2700 for Flowering. I want what they call DUAL SPECTRUM, or both UVA and UVB rays. In Spring or late Summer, Nature gives us a majoroty of either one, but Nature still gives us BOTH.

Maybe ''you should use only 2700k for flowering'' if you're a small grower that only use two bulbs, for each cycle, or if oyu are using 26 or 42 watt bulbs. But I really recommend using both Dual Spectrum Bulbs. I am certain that when using CFLS, you ought to use as many bulbs as you can afford, within reason.
Here is my prooof:













I use 4 65s,(2 of each) 4 85s ,(2 of each) 4 105s, (2 of each spectrum or kelvon) and a few 42s, 2700s, putting two in one Y connector in one reflector.

HEY! I have the exact same setup you show here,..my Q is this..How many lights above the 2 they send w/ the system will I need to achieve similar results on 5 Snow white fems? I have a small closet,..so can you tell me what kind of weight (ballpark it,pleez) I can achieve with two more dual spec reflectors?

I appreciate ANY help,as I'm a newbie.

Most new buyers, buy the DUAQL Spectrum, 2 85s, one of each kelvin or spectrum. For 5 females, add at least 4 more bulbs, either 42s, 65s, or 85s, and have two more on top and one on each side, to get 14 to 16 ounces from your 5 girls.

You can buy some CHEAP 65s at Lowes or Home Depot.
