I need some help. What would happen if I ran 4100K lights all the way? or would I need to run 2700K and 5000K or 6400K. If any of you check out my vids you'll see the layout of my set up. I can't find any information on lighting and I just want to know will 45,000 lumins of 4100K in 8 sq, ft. be good for bringing up healthy plants from seed to fruit? if any one can help thanks a bunch. P.S. I'm using CFLs and im going to be growing beans, peas, strawberries and the such.
Unless you have flowers that flower early in year then it's vice versa red for veg blue for flower
