Hi Folks, novice gardener here.
I recently acquired a grow tent package. Lights supplied are:
- 2 x 130w CFL Light Bullbs. (6400k for Veg stage, 2700k for Flower stage),
and,
- 2 x LED 225 Red & Blue Panels, (225 LEDs = 165 Red + 60 Blue Mix).
I simply am unsure as to which lights to begin with?, do I swap the lights over and if so when?, can I put both types of lights simultaneously over the plants? how do I avoid one light from obstructing the other type of light?
I appreciate I’ve left myself fighting the clock-my seeds will sprout in a day or two. If anyone out there can assist me I would be very grateful. Thank you.
There will be a sticker or plaque o. Each light. Post pics of them. Ill get the light guy.
@dbrn32. Tee’d it up for ya!
we need a good assesment of those lights, pics will speed it along.

Thanks for replying-I appreciate it.
The only info on the lights is what I’ve put above, and a manufacturing date (2019-12).
If I only received the CFL’s I would just start with the vege light, then later switch to the flowering light. It’s the LED’s and when to use them that has confused me…shucks…
There has to be an I’d tag somewhere that will list voltage and current. Sometimes its even on a tag on the power cord.
What size is your grow space?
Tent size: 90cm x 50cm x 160cm

That says led power is about 14 watts, not going to do much for you.
The 6400k cfl should do pretty good job of vegging your space. When you get to flowering will be a little weak with your current options.
Thanks again for replying. Is there any merit in hanging both the CFL and LED beside each other, say, during flowering, and shift the position of the plants once or twice a day? Thanks for your thoughts.
