Propagating Pinguicula 'Sethos'

  • #21
I do not appreciate warm white fluorescents (6500K)<span style='color:red'>[Edit: correction, should read 3000K -> 6500K = daylight]</span>. Sure they are good for blooming, but for my money they are just not good enough at providing energy for outstanding vegetative growth like I find with cool white fluorescents (4100K). If I were ever to try one it would be in combination with 2 or 3 cool white.

Cool white are 6500K, aren't they? 6500K has a bluish tint... hence the "cool" label as far as I knew. And 4100K is more in the yellow range, hence the "warm".

The labels on the packaging didn't differentiate 4100K v. 6500K. I took a stab in the dark and purchased what two other male customers stated was definitely a cool bulb. It was either that or pick up a Pro Gro-bulb which is full spectrum. Should I just go back and get Grow bulbs? At this point, price is not a concern as I just want my plants to live.

The grow bulbs are a waste of money. A big waste. They do nothing better for the plants than make them look creepy.

Looks interesting.

I figured cool white and daylight were the same thing... glad you posted that info too.
