Hey all,
So I am 4 weeks from clone into veg and am getting ready to make the switch to 12/12. I'm growing two plants in 5gal pots in a 2'x2'x4' grow tent using a 300w Viparspectra LED light along with 4-6 2700k 23w CFL's. My question is this: as I know the Viparspectra is low in red-spectrum for flower, am I better off purchasing a deep-red bloom booster LED light for supplemental light during flower (pictured) or am I ok using the 4-6 2700k 23w CFL's? I know the 2700k encompasses more of the red spectrum, but wondering: a.) if the 4-6 23w will be enough to assist flower or I need more wattage, and b.) if I would be better off purchasing the booster LED light and using that alone or in conjunction with a few CFL?
My setup is as follows (pictured as well):
-1 Gorilla Glue #4 & 1 Skywalker x Grateful Breath
-2'x2'x4' grow tent
-300w Viparspectra Reflector Series LED
-4-6 2700k 23w CFL's
-Passive Intake with Terrabloom Exhaust pulling 185cfm
-Fox Farms Ocean Forest soil & nutrient trio
-2 oscillating fans
