Depends if your vegging or flowering.....For vegging, use the Daylight bulbs and for flowering, use the soft white.

Yes, it is possible. Some believe that having both increases the growth, usually having 2 to 1 of the 6500 for vegging and 2700 for flowering. Although most of the consensus is still that, it is best to have 6500 for vegging and 2700 for flowering.

Yes bro! Idealy you want two 6500k cfl's per plant during veg and 3-4 2700k per plant for Flower.

how many plants can you have under about 6 cfls?

 

[Dragonsmoke]

Three max if your going straight cfl. But if using them for side lights..Hmmmmm 5-7 maybe depending on how many lumens per cfl. I'm using the 42 watt 2700k (warm light colour) which gives me 2600 lumens per bulb. Cost is about 12 bux a bulb.
