Always a newbie
i got 2 new 100w(output) Daylight CFs today. i had originally been using 2 cool white CFs. is there a difference between the two? the new lights are VERY blue.
Thanks
Alex
 
Daylight is better :) The blue spectrum promotes vegetative growth while the red spectrum promotes flowering.
 
good! thanks JLAP!

If you're worried about the blue spectrum not giving enough red, don't.

I use a 65 watt (REAL PC) 10,000K over my terrarium, you're is probably around 64-65,000K. I'm getting flowers as we speak.
