Hi HerbalJ,

I cant really help out much but I find the 125/250 cfl's to work a treat for my veg tent.

Old-style tubes don't have the intensity.

Personally I don't worry about colour temperature - I've got a big box of 25 watt bog standard warm white CFLs which seedlings seem to like perfectly well and I use the same ones around the house.

Fluorescents are a poor choice anyway beyond about 3 weeks from seed, or once cuttings have rooted.
