CFL QUESTION

[BronxParadise]

is an EcoSmart 27 Watt (100 Watt) Full Spectrum CFL okay to supplement for sunlight on shitty days during my plants early stages?? thanks!

heres a link EcoSmart 27 Watt (100W) Full Spectrum Craft Light, 1 Pack (E)* - ES5M827FS at The Home Depot (http://www.homedepot.com/h_d1/N-5yc1vZ1xh8/R-100687004/h_d2/ProductDisplay?langId=-1&storeId=10051&catalogId=10053)

some growers do full grows with a few of those.
It will work great for backup, especially when backing the sun.

...yeah, that should work fine, tho you might want a couple more than just one, depending on how much space you're trying to cover.

The 5500k colour temperature is pretty good for veg, though a higher number here wouldn't hurt. The 27w for 1400 lumens is not bad, either, but you might do better to get a 45w actual / 200w equiv, that puts out 3000 lumens, in the 4100k temp.

Sunblaster makes a CFL bulb that somehow uses only 26w, but puts out 2400 lumens, in the 6400k temp. THIS one is the most efficient lumens/watt. IF you can find 'em...
