because it puts out a lot more lumens. cfl's are nice but they're small and less efficient (barely shed light on the bottom of my plant. the 80 watt cfl is a 2 foot long fluorescent tube and shines nice bright even light to all parts of my gal .
maryjanehaze Reviewed by maryjanehaze on . ~Log of a Budding Lowryder~ Alright guys, i had to make a thread for my 1st grow (happening to be the controversial lowryder strain) and as of now it's day 28 and flowering is ago :D . I'm using a single 100 watt cfl in a large nightstand and have added flowering/bloom ferts to the soil a few days ago. it seems i got the "large" phenotype so hopefully this baby will bud up to around 15 grams. But I'm getting ahead of myself...countless pistils are growing every day and my gal's emitting a nice planty yet potty smell Rating: 5
