cant seem to post the direct link but just do a search for 300w halogen and its the 9.99 one.

Halogen bulbs are not good for growing marijuana they put out a lot
of heat and have a shitty spectrum.
And in the space you are talking about you dont want some bulb blasting
out high amounts of heat. You should look into compact fluorescents (CFLs)

could you point me in the right direction toward light. theres to many to choose from and i get lost in the process. i have 50 dollars to spend on a light. lil more if i have to but what is the best i can get for 50 or so dollars.

42w cfls at walmart are $8...grab a bunch of those and u should be good

[yabatab]

Yep what he said, here is a pic of what the 42 watt CFL walmart
sells the kind you want for veg.

[kush07]

As said earlier, go for some CFL lights. Try to get some Cool White lights during veg. Soft white works ok but it doesn't produce as much blue spectrum as Cool White. Warm White lights are ideal for flowering but seem to be hard to get as of right now. You can use Cool White during flowering but the plants will never reach full potential.

Happy Toking :rasta:

damn yab.........those were the exact lights i was gonna get but i ended up getting some 1400 lumen for 5 dollars each. ill probably go back and buy those since they were 9 dollars. the thing is they were only 2k lumen. and said reading light as was like wtf. how many lumen would i need for two plants? i bought about 4 1400 lumen bulbs and 2 2000 lumen bulbs.

[Boostin GST]

4 of these..........25w=100w 1471 lumens
2 of these..........32w=150w 2050 lumens

Those 42 watt CFL's actually put out 2700 lumens the package says
2000 but if you look up the model number it says its out put is 2700.
They are also sold under the name Megalite. But what you did buy
sounds fine to me.

I am using 3 42 watt CFLs on two plants in a grow box not much bigger than what you are talking about.
