What are the best CFLs for veg and flowering? I've seen stuff like "soft white "daytime" on labels of CFLs. Which type is best for which stage of growth?
Plants get energy from both blue and red wavelengths of light. This is regardless of whether they are in flower or just growing. To take advantage of this, use a mixture of both cool and warm white bulbs all the time. Far red light (almost naked to our eyes) from incandescent bulbs are also absorbed by plants. This type of light makes plants stretch abnormally. A small amount may increase flowering though. You might experiment and mix 20 watts of incandescent light like a refrigerator bulb for every 100 watts of florescents during flower.frozengreen911 said:What are the best CFLs for veg and flowering?
