Fluorex?

What do you all think of Fluorex lights?
Also, what would you all think about using the same type of lights for veg & flwr? Is it really much better to use a diff. type of light?

[GrowinGreen23]

you can do both with CFLs i believe

[ToKnoIsToGro]

But what do you think of fluorex for veg, and cfl for flower? or even just fluorex for both?

[GrowinGreen23]

idk i'm guessing it can be done like i said you can use CFLs for both, i mean i'm only guessing that HPS, LPS, or MH are better, give it a try and let everyone know, what wattage are they what spectrum of light?

[ToKnoIsToGro]

um, fluo is equiv. to incand. 500W -6,300 lumens
and the CFL is equiv to 150W light each 2,700 lumens

That means nothing. You want actual wattage of CFL. Not equivilent.

[ToKnoIsToGro]

CFL actual is 42W
and Fluorex actual is 65W
Recommend MUCH more?

[ToKnoIsToGro]

So let me make sure i understand, it is best to have at least 400W of actual CFL or Fluorex? which would be like maybe 3,000 watts equivalent to incandescents?
