hey guys, newbie grower here haha. Anyway I built a pretty tight grow filecabinet with 4 cfls and 3 fans (2 out 1 in). I have a question about which type of cfls to use. I am going back and forth between the 100w equivalent GE reveal bulbs and the 100w equivalent GE Daylight. The daylight have a very bright blue/whitish color and the reveals have a bright almost golden hue. Also the reveals seem to run a little hotter than the daylights.

Any help would be great thanks. :bigjoint:

I'll post some pics once these babies break through the soil. It's been about 5 days since they cracked the seeds and i put them in soil and I'm starting to wonder....

The daylight bulbs are 6500k and are good for vegging. The others i am guessing are probably 2700k and those are used when flowering so you will eventually need both but for the time being the daylights should be good
