I use 8 cfl, Just added a 70w hps for shitz and giggles. but the were grown to this using only cfl. I use a mix of four 26w 6500k and four 26w 3500k bulbs. I was intending to add 4 more 3500k bulbs for flowering but then i got this hps security light. I personally love the cfl's. Not to bad on heat, and in a small area they seem to work great. Looking forward to a harvest. That is about 6 weeks away. btw you can pic up the warm(3500k) cfl's at lowes 26w 4 pack for like 12 bucks
marmarkus2006 Reviewed by marmarkus2006 on . CFL Questions experienced CFL growers please help. ive used them for growing before. when i did bought pigtail sockets from ACE and that standard lamp wiring... a big peice of it. the pigtail socket has the two screws on the back. you strip the wire... one side is grooved and one is smooth.. you strip the plastic and run the wire under the screws. and i hooked up 8 CFL's to one lampwire.. like christmas lights. question is... is there a limit that you should stay under when doing this? how many cfls Rating: 5
