    Default CFL's and colour temp?

    So I currently have 6 girls on the go in rockwool cubes under a 300w CFL... Some of the roots were getting a bit long so I potted a few of them up. The issue I have now is while I'm waiting on my HPS light coming the CFL needs to be like 2 feet above the plants to cover them all (obviously no good) so I have 4 under the 300W about 10cm of the top... All good

    For the other 2 plants the only light I have is 5x24w CFL bulbs which is enough but they are 5000-5500k I know it's not ideal for colour temp but will these still do the job for a few more days until the HPS arrives? been 2 days so far and no obvious issues have appeared.

    Your pretty close to the right spectrum and pretty close to wrong one either way it's in the middle

    I successfully grew 2 autos with 8 25w cfls (4 of each colour) throughout the whole grow.

    You'll be fine
