Do you have to use CFL's?

  1. Are CFLs the only kind of light that you can use for a grow box? Im using a regular 60 watt light bulb for one plant..
     
  2. You don't have to use CFLs, however you really dont want to be using regular incandescent lights. They're really inefficient in terms of light output per watt. CFL's are your cheapest option for one plant.

    There's also other options for more powerful lights like metal halide (MH) lights or high pressure sodium (HPS) lights.

    Take a look at the stickies in the lighting section for some more in-depth info.

    good luck!
     
  3. Wow. There's a sticky thread right at the very top of this here forum called "All About Lighting." I'm no genius, but I'm guessing that there probably is so good info in there for ya... :rolleyes:
