whats up everybody,
what do you think about 4100K bulbs. You think there gonna be good enough for growing all through veg and flower? or should I stick to 6500K bulbs for veg and 3000K bulbs for flower? has anybody just used 4100K bulbs all around before?

STAY AWAY.... unless for the garage.. or basement. Waste of $$$ for the Girls. 3000k to 5000k does nothing for them.

Getting ready to start my auto's Will use suggested light for veg. [CFL] Want to produce beans for constant grow in bean field. Was thinking of diesel ryder. Any thoughts? Will lose a lot of seeds cause will play with plants and how long to wait after roundup weed killer is sprayed. Cops have gotten good at finding in corn field, think they do not start till august. Could be in the field and out before they fly.

do they? I ordered some with this kit I got but I wanna change up the bulbs now. They gave me a 4100K, 3000K, and 5000K. I wanna change the 4100 and 3000. It said it was supposed to be good all around for vegging and flowering. I dunno tho what do you think?? I havent read a lot of grows with ppl using those bulbs ya know?
