  1. ugh no one has a red spectrum light bulb that i can find... I just want a regular red spectrum light bulb and i cant find one.... do u guys know if home dopot has any? i dont want the fancy stuff like hps bulbs just a regular florecent ...
    thanks
     
  2. hmmm.????
     
  3. Yes, Home Depot carries 2700k CFL's.
     
  4. they also have 3,000k floro tubes at home depot
     
  5. ahhh thanks guys... but i want one that isnt to big... mby a foot at the most if even than.... so wht one wud b better? and wud they b good for budding>?
     
  6. Just get the swirly ones. 2700 k is for flower 6500-5500k is for veg. You can screw those into your grandmas lamps.
     
  7. thanks alot ill check them out,.... and wut if there only like 50 or 90 wats like some of them ive seen there shud i buy atleast 2 or wut?
     
  8. They would be the 90-100 watt equivalent or more like 27-37 watts. So yes, get as many as you can afford.
     
  9. im trying to find one of those 2700k CFL's on line does any one know where to find it? ha i just wana see wut it looks like no big deal tho but if u cud find it on home depoes pg or w.e show me thenaks :)
     
  10. lol i was just looking at that one! haha thansk alot tho for finding it for me
     
  11. Hehe. nice.
    *resists urge to post-edit*
     
  12. wud it b good to put a 2700k cfl light and a 6500-5500 light at the same time is that ok?
     
  13. You could use them both together, but it is not going to be the optimum. The different colours represent different wavelengths of light that the plant uses in different ways, using the 6500k during the veg and using the 2700 during flowering is the optimum use for the plant growth.
