    I just bought a pack of 6 of these lights. I bought CFL 26w lights 1650 lumens and ill have 4 of them up maybe more i'm not sure yet but most likely 4 of them they also have 2700k light appearance (warm light appearance better for flowering stage from what i believe) in total ill have 6600 lumens

    *NOTE <span style="font-size:14px;">this is for my custom Pc Grow Box.</span>

    <span style="font-size:14px;">- 1650 lumens per bulb</span>
    <span style="font-size:14px;">- CFL 26w</span>
    <span style="font-size:14px;">- 6 of them (4 of them will be in use)</span>
    <span style="font-size:14px;">- 2700k light appearance</span>

    <span style="font-size:14px;">Please let me know it these lights will be good enough for my pc grow box or if i will need different ones, thanks! :smoke:</span>

    Btw i paid $13 dollars for these cheers :bongin:

  2. note ill probably be growing Low Ryder 2 for my first grow... so let me know if it will be good enough
     
  3. btw would it be able to grow other strains too?
     
  4. Toss in some 6500k daylight bulbs(for veg) should be good to go. Question on whether you can grow other strains is up to you and your abilities.
     
  5. thanks a lot :)
     
  6. Should do fine for a first pc grow.  Although some 6500k bulbs would be good and will grow better in veg, there's no need as those bulbs will do a whole grow, they wont be stunted or anything
     
  7. You can get a 400 wt replacement CFL (68WT) in 2700k or daylight spectrum at lowes for $17 a pop. Very very bright! Its 4 100wt cfls in 1 bulb. Worked great
     
  8. thanks a lot everyone! :D
     
  9. Using soft white cfl`s in veg can cause them to stretch more in veg. In veg you want mostly daylight not soft white but to mimic the sun more you can go with a 3:1 ratio of daylight to soft white cfls and vice versa in flowering.
