The bulbs need to be kept at 35 to 45 degrees F. for the entire cooling period of 16 to 18 weeks. If you live where outdoor winter temperatures rarely get below 25 degrees F, just keep the pots of bulbs moist and store them right in the garden beneath a layer of straw.
Also, older fluorescent bulbs were T12. Then, we had combination of magnetic ballasts and T12 bulbs. As I said, they lost to electronic ballasts and T8 bulbs. You simply may look at the numbers on the bulb to see if you have older T12, or newer T8 bulb.nother way, T8 bulbs are smaller in diameter (1 inch) in comparison to T12 (1.5 inches in diameter). To find the diameter simply divide the number by 8 and it gives you the diameter of the bulb. EX: T12 12/8=1.5 inches. As I said older T12 bulbs and magnetic ballasts come together.
