confused about lights!

neef · Jan 27, 2009

i bought 6x 100w 1650 lumens(but the box says that they only use 23w) so are they the worthless cfls?

MaxBud · Jan 27, 2009

they are perfect CFLs for growing. Many people use alot of 23w to cover a bigger area and give the plant 180* of light

well this was grown under only 4 23 watt cfls so depending on your grow space u should be good to go... good luck

Sure thing, change to 2700K though.
Here is a sample of WW grown under cfl.

Those look like 2700K bulbs, which you would use to flower. It's the 6500K daylight spectrum bulbs that you need to veg.
