    I'll bet dollars to donuts that you don't have a 100w CFL, you have a CFL in the range of 23-27 watts that is being marketed as "equivalent" to 100 watts.

    LEDs aren't ready for prime time.

    need more details about your led light, what NM are the 4 bands? and if toasty is right, i would upgrade to at least a 65 watt CFL (that is a 300 watt replacement)

    Thanx for the pointlessness insight toasty biz! Is that why u got so mant posts? cuz u dont say anything of use? Or u just like to shut people down? Anyway its a .5 watt per bulb and 112 bulb mostly reds, whites, orange, and like 24 blues. i will get back with the Nm.

    Helping a grower explore whether he has been deceived by marketing gimmicks about his lighting wattage is not pointlessness.

    I promise I won't bother you with any more advice, best of luck figuring out what the hell you're doing...
