Decent grow light?

  1. I've looked at them before, but didn't get that much info on them. To get anything you would probably need a bunch of them.
     

  2. They are supposed to throw out about 950 lumens.
     

  3. ....if you want to get ripped off..... what i do is take lamps apart to get just the socket, cord and plug. gut it basically down to bare min.... then make a "fixture" of them. i have been using duct tape and a pizza box lately. if you go to walmart, or target or something along the lines of these store you can get 4pks of 27w Compact fluorescent light bulbs for $10 (at Target) and sometimes they even have instant savings coupons on them to save like $2 or something.... 3 four packs of these is 12 bulbs and 12 x 27w =324w. So for the cost of bulbs you are paying the $30 for that lamp you would have wanted to purchase. If you need help finding lamps to gut go tohttp://www.craigslist.com find your closest city near you and go to the free section and search for lamps... or try going to value village or good will and getting lamps for $1-$3 a piece. I often use chandeliers (5 sockets to one find it good :) )
     


  4. thats not a lot at all.... your plants would survive but not even really grow. u'd have a spindly 6" 3 node plant. which reminds me don't forget a small fan :)
     
  5. I figured it would be a good starter lamp because its full-spectrum and such.
     
  6. Definitely not worth it.
     
  7. Im going to try Home Depot or Lowes for Full Spectrum Floros.
