cpu case grow need advice

[fatfred420]

you dont need to goto a grow shop to get good cfls. Any hardware or megamart or whateva you have in the states should sell what your after at a fraction of the cost. Alternatively you can try online at somewhere like ebay.

i went to walmart they didnt have em...well at least the ones i was looking for (warm/daylight) i dont have a credit card for ebay either i guess ill try sum of the lights they do have i think they were soft white or sumthing does ne1 know if this will work?

Soft white sounds like incandescent... No no no, no incandescents...
Never seen softwhite for CFLS, but eh, whatever. What is the k rating on those bad boys? It should be written somewhere on the package. That should give a little help, since veg you typically go high (6500k) and flower you go low (3000k)

yeah.. dunno if thatll help or not

Lately I've noticed that most CFLs sold at lowes, home depot, and walmart don't have their kelvin temperatures on the package. The only ones that do are the 6500k daylight bulbs. The warm white/soft white ones generally wont have a k temp on the box, but in general warm or soft means the light will be in the lower ranges.
