Compact Fluorescents for the Grow Room

[fishbonez]

for vegging, use a light that produces wavelengths around 450â??495 nm. (Blue Light)

you will not need a ballast for powering your CFLS.

hope this helps :jointsmile:

Maybe I'm mistaken, but I believe that he may in fact need a ballast. Some of the CFL grow tubes do not have the ballast built in and do require a fixture with a ballast. I've seen those CFL's at Lowes.
