    Default Cfl colours

    Hi guys just a quick question......i got 10 seedlings under a single 250w cfl that has a slight orange in it's light. Today i thought id add another 250w as noticed the ones onnthe outside edge wher leaning towards the light to much. But when i plugged it in this one has more of a blue/white colour. Im a bit worried now if ice been using the wrong sort of light. This is my first time from seed have always used clones so just wacked straight under hps

    I'm new as well, and have a very limited knowledge. But I am using cfl and have done a bit of reading.
    Blue is for veg, red is for flowering and you can also get a duel spectrum which both. From what I've learnt it's best to have a bit of both throughout your grow.

    Other then electric costs there's no reason why you can't (I'm sure someone more knowledgeable then myself will be able to say for sure)

    My personal view is that 10 plants with one or even two CFL is way over kill. Your girls will stretch the fuck to get to the light. What kind of growing space do you have and what odour control are you using?

    1 HPS with 10 plants is not going to get you any more dry product than if you grew four and let them reap the full benefit of your lamp.
