Ya man MH is way better. It is also hotter. I started out with fluros and cfl's, then I bought a 250 MH and the difference was night and day. I didnt catch the name but whoever it was that had the pic of the grow tent with the t5's and cfl's....I was just wondering if youve finished a grow yet, and what the quality and time was on it??
BLAYZIN Reviewed by BLAYZIN on . 175w Mh vs 125w fullspectrum CFL ok my elcheapo 70w MH from lowes stopped working so am trying to upgrade within a budget of less than 150 shipped. I have a real small grow cab so i dont really need the 250w-400w monsters everyone prefers. Plan is to replace the 70w hps and mh with one light, trying to decide between two. The 125w(8750 lumens) CFL is a full spectrum greenhouse light for $100, and the 175w(14k lumens) MH is your typical outdoor wall light for $125. The bulbs life expectancy is 8000hrs for cfl, and 10000 for Rating: 5
