What ?? Most your growth is in flowering hence why we flower under HID lights there bro . You dont lessen your lights in flowering LOL .Florescence lighting is the best for the flowering, during vegetation the plants required more intensity of lights,
for better vegetation 6500k will holds good, i am using CFLs light in the side,
as the plants grow higher the distance from the plants can be maintained and my leaves will not get burned out...
Very true , a bunch of CFL's put off alot of heat .HID is the way to go .I knocked myself out trying to make cfls work, but all I got was stretched plants and small airy buds. And I'm finding the heat from my 400w hps isn't that much harder to handle than the heat from all those cfls. The yield is double.
