I have to cut back on energy so I'm going to go back to max 200 watt and start doing 16/8 cycles (the cycle part due to the fact that my growroom is in my bedroom and the light + sound that comes trough sometime keeps me awake at night)

now I'm not changing my light equipment for a while and will still make use of it.
now I have a 150 watt 6500K CFL + 45 watt 2700K and a 180 actual watt LED.

my question is will it be best to use the CFL's in veg and the LED during flower or the other way around?

I know neither of the two is optimal but I want to keep growing and if I don't cut back on power that might no longer be possible.

I'm guessing CFL veg and LED flower is best? or other option somebody thinks of?
 
If your LED is a full spectrum one, I would use it for the whole grow.
 
Yes, was thinking about that too but something I read some time ago was putting me off a bit but now I'm thinking about it it didn't neccessaraly make sense. :p
