Vegging a mommy under warm white light?

[carrotsyo]

The only 40w CFL I could get was warm white. Are there any negative effects of vegging under 18-20hrs of WW light?

You may not see the desired node development, may be spaced further apart, than you would using a bluer light. Can you add a smaller, bluer CFL to the mix? That would help tremendously.

If I can get it to bonzai short, under 6 inches, then I can add a small daylight bulb under the WW.

I need to pull 4-5 clones every 4 weeks, so most of the clippings will be discarded.

i used 2700k bulbs for vegging for years.

only thing available locally for a long time.

always got very short node distance, though i used to run indica dominant.

i personally often use hps for vegging, (and ive tried mh and 3-7000k cfls.)

i dont find the bluer bulbs to give too much of an advantage.

it matters more the intensity of the bulb.

yes, your on the right path..

veg moms to become bonsai.. less water waste, less nute waste, less electric waste.... and more clones per square foot imaginable. I was just looking at through my old pics, so I'm gonna upload a pic for imagination..

have fun

Thank you for the input. I believe a 40w in my tiny space will be more than enough to have clones close, beside the bulb, and the mom underneath.

I very much appreciate those pictures. They are very helpful for envisioning the pruning/chopping process that I'm going to be completely new to.
