Just wanted to through something in on the CFL bulbs. Check out 1000bulbs.com, they have a really good line of CFL. They say 2 to 200 watt but I only saw up to 105 watt. They have 100 watt (supposed to be 500 watt incandesent equivalent) for about $21.00and $9.50 shipping. Shipping for more than 1 bulb is still $9.50, at least up to 4 bulbs if I remember right. I haven't gotten any yet but as soon as money allows I want to get some to try them out. I was thinking of doing a box for my mother using 10 bulbs. Two in each corner and two above but maybe smaller than 100 watts each. I'll make my own reflectors and mount them on some type of scissor set-up (that i'll make also)so that I can adjust them horizontally according to the size of the plant. I don't know, Looks good on paper. If anyone has trouble finding the site for the bulbs let me know and I will try to help. Have a great day. P.S. To whom it may concern, 1000bulbs.com might be a company that would be interested in advertising. Just a thought.

Some Walmarts carry it. If not Walmart, Sports Chalet, Big 5 and places like that often have it. You want to look in the camping section for mylar emergency blankets. They usually cost under two bucks per blanket.

You can buy thicker mylar that is easier to work with at your hydro store, but since $$$ don't just shoot out of your ass, or any other orifice I would presume, the emergency blankets are probably cheaper.

Flat white paint is actually almost as reflective as mylar and has the added advantage of helping to dissipate heat. The mylar reflects all your heat back into your room; while white paint will allow your walls to absorb more of the heat and transfer it elsewhere. ...and, contrary to what your instincts will try to tell you, flat white IS more reflective than gloss white.

Enjoy your grow! :thumbsup:

LOL - Now seriously, misslilly, I'm a man. How many men do you know who can even recognize subtlety, much less generate it?

There was another quote in MBA's previous post that didn't show when I quoted MBA. If the quote part looked like this:

those 65w floods are probly incandescent. i had 2 in my cfl gro, and when i swapped them out for additional cfls, the plants grew noticibly better.

cfls are the cheapest lights, hps next, then Mh

Maybe it's more obvious what I meant to say.

I've used and recommended 1000Bulbs in the past. They're a little slow in their processing/shipping department, but not unreasonably so and they do have a good election of bulbs at hard-to-beat prices - especially the larger cfl's.

Hey PharmaCan, Misslilly is the name of one of my dogs. I'm also male so maybe that explains why I did'nt understand??

LOL - That would certainly account for it.
