  1. Just starting out... The flueros watts say like uses 14w = 100w is that not enough for a plant? or how does that work?
     
  2. cfl or fluro tubes. im un sure with tubes
     

  3. Doesnt matter. When it says 14w = 100W all you need to know is that its only using
    14W of actual power. You'll want at LEAST 100W of ACTUAL usage for a single plant. So
    in this case, you'd need 7 of those bulbs just to meet the minimum requirement for
    lighting anything other than a seedling.

  4. hmmm darn okay well ill need a new set up. Can I find any lights needed at lets say Walmart? I just don't wanna order anything or is there anything else I can pick up. Yeah I have about 3 of those lights thinking it would equal 300 w but I was wrong :(
     
  5. or possibly home depot lol
     
  6. Yeah WalMart, Home Depot, or Lowes all would carry what you need.

  7. I noticed the HPS (I think) do they plug into a regular outlet or would I have to buy a special lamp not that it matters. Im gonna look at the rest of the forums for the wattage i'd need for 5 seedlings.
