I figured Id get this for about the same price and more wattage than a 25w daylight cfl, but is the halogen gonna do the job for me

Heat lamps will not grow your weed, nor black lights, or halogens, the 4 main light souces that best suit the fine herb are as follows:-

a) HPS (High Pressure Sodium) best all rounder, gives off a red spectrum, and is ideal in the flowering phase of the plants life.

b) MH (Metal Halide) gives off a blue spectrum ideally suited to the vegitative stage of the plants life.

c) Fluros ot cfl's.....can grow the plant, however a lot of wattage is required, hence using a MH or HPS, as they by far are better and faster......meaning higher yields and more of them.

d) Good old sunlight, the best way, however it can be impractical for a lot of growers to grow outdoors as they wish to have a constant production.
