Ive been trying to see some ideas on how people are growin peppers indoors using only CFLs. Maybe some fixtures/tube florescents.
wordwiz said:As I stated in some other thread (hard to keep track of them!), I'm getting great growth in my tomatoes and good flowering with the cukes using a 5000K bulb. I would prefer 2300K for seedlings based on last year, but it's hard to find 105 watt CFL bulbs at that temp.

I cna do them in the basement but it can tend to be moist/humid down there.. would that be alright? or would that be too cold/humid/moist and cause mold etc?
Thanks.
MrOneEyedBoh said:I liked those plans you posted Lee.
But I have CFLs.. can I substitute the fixtures for my CFLs? I would move the plants up towards the lights versus moving the lights away from the plants.. Ya know what I mean?
I also am going to have sime 1.5' fixtures on the sides for side light.
MrOneEyedBoh said:I have just the CFL bulbs and standard screw base fixtures like in wordwiz's pictures posted above.
I dont have tube fixtures. but like I said I have around 8 of each bulb ( 6500k and 2700k )
lee said:Those 2300 K are flower lights. Would it not be better to use a higher K?
MrOneEyedBoh said:I believe that the temp of the light has a great impact too. Think of it this way, you can have great soil etc and use an incandescent light, and you may not get anything. but none the less, good info. Thanks
