1800.... or 18000k?

you want 6500k for early veg, i use mixes of 6500, 5500, 3500, and 2700 cfl's depending on the age of the plant. 1800 is def not what you want for veg. 18000... im not sure

Give it a try bro cuz the company called NLite has a purple cfl and it's 25000K and it made for plants and they thrive under them.. I have 2 17w T8's that are 7800K and they have a purple tint to them and my clones do fine under them and you can get them at Walmart for $10!! they are called Lights of America Grow Light
