CFLs and Flowering Stage

if florescent light bulbs are more in the bluer spectrum, are they ok to use for the flowering stage

Yes if you pick up 2700K bulbs. It wont be as good as an HPS, but plenty of people do it with decent results. Just don't use the 6500k ones for flower.

not all flouros are in the blue spectrum. you should look for ones in the 2700k range for flowering.

CFL Bulbs if used correctly, can produce great results. As stated before, just get the correct spectrum.

got it guys thanks a billion im postin pics soon!!!!

here they are!! sorry for the delay im using the florescent on the floor now too for some side light.

you can use both 2700k and 6500k to flower, it's recommended that you go with 2700k but some mix thier spectrum. You can go through an entire grow with 6500k light spectrum but with lacking results, it's the light cycle that will get your girls flowering not the spectrum. Don't get the 4100k they don't work well for veg or flower. stay high

The answer is yes. That simple folks.

I'm currently 4 days into 12/12 with straight CFL's i have 4 2700k and 2 6500k and they are growing good, i'll let you know how they are going in about 2 weeks when they truly start to flower. I also have a seedling i threw in there to see how it will go
