The photo is not the bulbs i use, but almost exactly the same, only mine states the specs above, the specs for the one that is photo'd are as follows:
65w, 3900 lumens, 2700k. The newer version of this bulb is what i have, it is a couple bucks more, but none the less you get the idea!

The bulbs may not fit in a standard fixture as these bulbs are freakin huge! standard socket yes, standard fixture....depends on the design of the fixture.

And yes, any extra light will always be beneficial during flowering, when using cfl's!

hope that helps:rastasmoke:

fyi: I use 10 of these, and can keep temps right at 80* with the lamps less than 6" inches from the tops of the plant's! And have to flower after 4 or 4.5 wk veg, or they get to BIG too fast!

Dantej, that was a little bit more clear and thank you. I have pics up of the plants If there is any question in size. :hippy:

Thanks everybody for the tips
