Are these good cfl lights?

[Ninjawitswag]

Bought these light the other day at a liquidation store so very cheap was wondering if they would be good enough to grow one plant using LST technique and using the 2700k on 18/6 light cycle for veg then 12/12 for flower.
I got a 41"L x 23"w x 52"h grow space.. first time grower.. will I produce a good amount if bud? Also would the smalles vortex and filter be enough? Thanks in advance

That'll be good for one plant. I would scrog to keep the light as even as possible to the canopy as CFL doesn't penetrate well. Also, you might want to get some cooler lights for veg.

great in a linen closet, mercury for the dump, ok for vegging, will leave you wanting in flower

Thanks for the advice what are the bare minimum bulbs I could get for adding colour

Thanks I'm kinda second guessing the cfls now might just try to buy a platnum led instead

You'll be fine man, just toss in a few 23w cool white cfls in the mix for veg and you'll be good. You have 164 watts of warm white already. Toss a few cools with it to bring the total watts to over 200. I've worked with less than that. Don't be discouraged

Oh okay awesome what kind of tricomes did you produce was the bud comparable to hps quality? Or is the bud best for edibles and extracts?

go to the led forums here and start looking around, there are a lot of member vendors making great lights. more than any other part of your grow, you get what you pay for with lights, buy a cheap light, get shit yields, buy a good light, it'll pay for itself first or second harvest

When you say cool white and warm what do you mean mine, is soft white?

Yeah I'd rather better lights but can't afford it so I'm looking for best name brands but their lower end models. Ice tried searching the forum but all I've found in timber and they seem legit but pricy.. no low watt for low price kind of deals

warm and cool refer to the Kelvin scale number of the light, the lower the number, the warmer the light, which is suitable for flower, being a redder light. the higher the number, the cooler the light, which is better for veg, and is a much more blue light

These bulbs? 6500k

 

[Roger A. Shrubber]

yeah, those would be good for veg, something 3500k and under for flower

Cool thanks a lot for your help, how many should I buy 4 to make it even with my 2700k? Or how many watts of the 6500k would be best being mixed with 2700k

it probably looks super bright in there and then you snap a picture with your phone and it looks like you would have trouble finding your keys on the floor. lol
