CFL Wattage question

Hey - forgive me if this is a dumb question. I've been doing a few modest autoflower grows for a while with a 125 watt blue spectrum CFL/envirolite. Want to step it up a little & would like to know if I can swap the 125w blue bulb for, say, a 200/250 watt red bulb when the plants start flowering...? Or would this be too much power for the reflector socket? Had also considered just adding a red spec bulb in addition to the blue 125 & put it at the bottom of the tent so the bottom of the plants get more light. Any thoughts/suggestions would be most appreciated...

Most all sockets are rated at least 250w. It should be fine.

My 65 cent Y splitters are rated at 660w...

well...you'll have to look at your socket to see if its rated for that high of a wattage...we can't tell you if it is or not...if you cant tell contact the manufacturer and they should know

Also using both lights instead of just the one will definitely help...in the CFL world the more the better

Thanx for the quick reply fellas, I'll have a look!

the red will stimulate the flowering too and why not use all your bulbs? u will get even better results
