4 bulb flourescent - what bulb?

[Jeff H]

I plan on picking up one of these soon to act as a supplimental light for the bigger plants over the winter and to start new seedlings with later in the winter. What is the best bulbs to get for growing peppers? A trip to Lowes revealed several types of T8 bulbs.

Yup. I use 6400k personally because thats what came with my fixtures and it works extremely well so I doubt there is any noticable differene, and i still get flowers on my carnivorous plants and buds on my peppers under them. Never used a 3000k but I am geting a new shelf or two for peppers soon and I might get 2 each for the shelf so I can have more pods indoors without the plant getting too big and taking up the entire shelf. They cost a ton of money to run in nyc
