Floros
Does having a regular floro make it better for a plant rather than having a CFL of the same watts? (both being low heat and real close to the plant with a fan)
If anything, Harddon or someone could you tell me whether they think a closet setup would be better off with the long floros (i think we have a few fixtures for em in the garage) or the kind Harddon has (man I know too much about your plants lol). Right now I have the swirly one but in order for me to get more lights in a nice setup I'd need a different type of bulb I think. HPS is simply unaffordable right now but will probably be gotten in time for 12/12. Any help would be very appreciated.Da1KrayzieThug Reviewed by Da1KrayzieThug on .

Da1,
The main problem with the CFL you are using now is in the light spectrum they produce. You can compensate for the limited spectrum, to a degree, by using MORE oif what you already have.
The bulbs I have are 5500K and 6400K CFL.
The output of these bulbs are simply enormous.
I have seen some really good grows with the long tubes but you gotta have MORE of them. Your lights will work, but, you need a shitload of lumens from your CFL.
I would prefer the CFL you are using now over the long tubes, but, youre gonna need a shitload of them.
You wont grow bushy plants with 42W of CFL.
In fact, I have a 250W HPS unit I bought for $100.00.
HOw about you pay for shipping and I just give it to you.
I even went to Home Depot and bought a brand new 250W HPS bulb for it, still in the package.
They are both yours.
Email me your address, if you want...

pay for shipping and the setup is yours.
