my first grow 250 watts cfl
So here is a few pics and an update, I retired the 600 watt MH bulb it was just too much heat and started burning my girls, plus I had to have it so far away the light intensity was terrible. Now I put my 250 watt MaxLume 6400K CFL bulb back in there along with two 2700K 55 watters, yes it's less lumens but It solves my heat problem and now I can keep those bulbs 6 inches from the plants so they are getting alot more light intensity, since I have switched bulbs the amount of growth is through the roof now, lesson learned High intensity CFLs is hands down the best and most productive way for seedlings. I know MH is better but for seedlings I disagree once they get rooted and get 4-5 good sets of leaves then yes the MH will be better for light penetration and will make them flourish. Thats about it any questions feel free to ask.
