I would recommend going to Menards if you have one... You can buy 200w CFL's for about 8$ two or three of those would be better than multiple 26w's. Unless of course you have enough light fixtures to actually spread the light out.

I grew out with around 250W of CFL's( like 6 bulbs total) and had a pretty decent turn out. GL

I thought this would be useful for beginning growers looking for a good cheap light setup. For a good beginning grow that will be coming next summer i'm thinking about this setup: 3- TCP SpringLamp 42 Watt 2700K Compact Fluorescent Lamp pr.# 28942 = $40 (flower) 3- 27 Watt 6500K (Daylight) SpringLamp Compact Fluorescent Lamp, 10,000 Hr. = $21 (Veg) 2- TCP Fresh 2TI Odor Eliminating 27 Watt 120 Volt Rating: 5
