CFL Wattage

Here's a link to some 105-watt CFLs. Not the perfect spectrum, but they'd work fine I'm sure. Not quite as beefy as the 125-watt bulbs in the link provided above, but like 1/3 the price. Three 105-watt bulbs seems like a better value than one 125-watt bulb, for almost the same money.

Those are great prices on those bulbs Jamstigator - only wish the spectrum was a little better. What do you think possible adverse effects of using that 4100k or 5000k for full cycle would be? Just a reduced yield?

I think if you used the 105 watt 4100Ks (maybe add a few high wattage warm spectrum) at that price you could probably add some of those Ozone, odor reducing warm spectrum CFLS and get nice buddah.

Remember when using CFL's from start to finish, you need to switch out the lighting spectrum for vegging/flowering.

cool white = blue (higher than 5500k)
warm white = red (Lower than 3500k)

Lumen, light colour and wattage are all you really need to look at when buying a CFL.
