Ok Guys,
I have been lurking a while. I am growing various palms, hibiscus, bananas and cycads in my family room during the winter. This is my first winter and I am "hooked". From reading this post, it appears that the bananas will do better under bulbs in the 2700 K range? I have a few cfls but most are 6500 K, I thought these would be better.

Also does anyone know if the regular CFL's at Home Depot and Menards are the same as "CFL grow lights" ? They both are 6500 K or 2700 K. I am just wondering.

Thanks and I love this forum I have gathered alot of good info. Thanks again
