    i just dont know if i should put 3 of these or just leave the one 60watt reg bulb any sugestions. thanks joe:confused::confused::confused::confused::confused::confused::confused::confused::confused:
     
  2. if by regular you mean incandescent then you shouldent use them they make way too much heat for the lumens/energy used and also dont really have a lot of light in the spectrums you want. go with cfl's or t5 flourescents.
     
  3. get as much light as u can get, the 60W bulb is sucking alot of power and not doing much. Go for a CFL light set-up
    Plenty of grow journals on here to see other peoples cfl's in action
     
  4. im going to walmart on Friday the only store around i live in the middle of nowhere but anyways what type of cfl how many watts would be good

    box 3ft width 4 ft deep 7 ft high:)
     
  5. go to the general indoor growing forum and check out the stickied cfl guide, all you neen to know
