I found a Sprial flourescent light and it is 100 watts but it only uses 27 watts of power. http://www.homedepot.com/prel80/HDU...lceffdfgidgnj.0&search_text=flourescent&DRC=4 Is this good for my planting? if u know plz show me a better site that sells good lights.
Its a regular flourescent light but its in a spiral instead of being a long tube. But this one is said to be using 26 watt of power and 100 watt output.
yes you can use it, it works pretty well, the more though the marrier. I have one of them, and 2 sets of 48inch flouros, and the spiral one works best, but my 48inchers are a few years old. Say if you had like, two or three of them on one plant you could go allright. Growth is really slow with flourescent lights, but its about the cheapest way to go. I'm going to buy two more of them spiral bulbs. You can get them at walmart and shit for like $5.
The site i found taht light is at www.homedepot.com it's in the U.S. So it doesn't matter how much watt the flourescent light uses, it only matters on how much watt it outputs?
I don't know, but I would think that the higher the watt the better with floros. I bet about 6 of those 100w spirals could work well w/ 2 or 3 plants for vegging. But for under $200 you can get this 400w hps.
i found it easier to just spend under $20 and i have 8 good plants going, but you do it your way. Naa i really wish i did have the cash for a MH and MPS bulbs.
