ok, i finally went to wal-mart and grabbed some new CFL's for my indoor grow box.
before, i was using these two large 42 watt CFL's that were very "warm white" light (2700K) and they were hurting my plants...
so i did a bit of research on light spectrum and plant growth. and found out how having only "warm white" light can do bad things to plants.. stretch them out, etc...
so i went out and got 4 of these, (19watt, 1300 lumen for each) and a color temperature of 5000K.
im getting only a little less lumen than i was before, (5200 instead of 5400)
but i think giving my plants a balanced light spectrum is well worth it...
thing is... it seems like they are growing slower.. enough to notice.
so my question is, is 5000K color temperature decent for growing???
