CFLs run hotter than tube flouros...

Tubes are great if you can keep the canopy close, and FLAT. Plant/aquarium lights aren't as good as 'cool white' or 'dyalight' tubes, despite being super expensive.

My first attempt at growing was a disgrace, I didn't read shit and I had 3 plants growing in one pot of soil under a kitchen light with 3 regular bulbs not even CFL's. (this is after I moved them inside permanantly after having them outside from day 1) Some how the plants actually grew to almost 2 ft over the course of a few months but they were shitty and eventually got a bad case of spider mites. I decided to start over Rating: 5
