It's really worth it in the end.

Cheers,
i disagree there cause ya can get a self ballasted envirolite for flowering and they work perfectly cheers

Fluoro Tubes vs CFLs Hey all, Im new here, however i was a faithful member of OG may it rest in peace :( Im about to start my second grow and wanted to gain some more info so i can improve SIGNIFICANTLY from my first grow. My question is what is better the basic fluoro tubes or cfls? I do realize that most people feel HID is THE way to go, however i have found it quite difficult to find appropriate HID for growing. Also the price to buy and run fluoros is much less than HIDs. Sure the plants may yeild Rating: 5
