CFL vs Indirect Sun
    #9910357 - 03/04/09 01:11 PM (14 years, 11 months ago)

Which is better?

My FC is sitting in a room with two windows (1 N facing, 1 E facing) in a place where it gets direct sunlight for 10-15 minutes every morning and my room is full of indirect sunlight until evening time.  Would it be beneficial for me to shut off my CFL during the day and let my grow bask in the indirect sunlight?

East windows are great.  If it's in or near a very bright window that gives at least a few minutes of direct sunlight, with bright diffused light the rest of the day, you can leave the cfl off.

Thanks RR.  I think that one of the issues that I've been having was my cfl.  It was one that I just had lying around the house and I had no idea what the color temp. was but thought it looked awfully yellow (I have a photography background so I know Kelvins like the back of my hand).

I did some research today and found out that that particular cfl had a color temp. of 3000K, so I just went out and bought a 6500K cfl.  Hopefully that'll help my babies pin.
