there was a poster on here asking $120 for 250W for the entire setup with both bulbs.

Keep in mind, that the 42W at WalMart is warm for flowering. It must indicate the color temperature for veg 6500k. I just picked up the sprial types at WalMart. They are cool and good for vegging. The cool bulbs are in blue packaging, the others are warm for flowering.
Pass That Shit Reviewed by Pass That Shit on . Lighting I am planning on growing between 2 to 4 plants and am on a tight budget and not wanting to much of a spike in my power bill. So with that said what floresent bulbs do I need to get. I am under the impression cool white for vegging and the Kitchen and Bath tubes for flowering. I was planning on having serveral above and also down the side of the plants. I know that HPS are ideal but for the first time and lack of cash I want to go with floresent. How many floresents per plant do I need? Rating: 5
