I wouldn't put them under the flowering scedule but I would definitely switch the lights to add athe red spectrum depending on what lights you're using to grow with
Ok
.
Ok. I'm using 10 100 watt warm cfls in the flowering tent which is 3x5 and 15 100 watt daylight cfls in a 6x4x6 tent. Only problem is, I've got plants flowering on 12/12 and plants in veg on 18/6. So I'm kinda stuck. Can I just put some warm 2700k lights directly over the autos to get the red spectrum? Oh ya, Of course they r in separate tents.

I'm assuming your autos are in the veg tent right? You should be fine putting some 2700 k lights in there. The first couple of times I grew autos I kept a mix of daylight and 2700k and it worked fine for me. Also check the cfls because a lot of people get equivalent watts and actual watts confused I think the 23 watt cfls are 100 watt equivalent. It will say wattage on the base of the bulb.
Th
they r in the veg tent. Yes, the equivalent to 100w cfl is 23w. Now the 100w signifies output and 23w is usage, correct?

With cfls its pretty much saying that a 23 watt cfl gives out the same light as a 100 watt incandescent so you have to go by the 23 watts. So you have 345 watts for that big of a space people are going to tell you you need more. Your getting about 14 watts per square foot most people recommend atleast 30-50. Anyways you should be fine with just adding a couple more 2700 k lights above the autos.
Cool
