Can anyone tell me what the best CFLs to use are. I've got a small stealth indoor grow that can comfortably fit two plants and I have at max 8 light sockets. I was thinking 4 2700k and 4 6500k CFLs. Mostly I'm looking for the right wattage but also an inexpensive buy. Thanks. Also would these be a good buy?
No those are small wattage. You can get a pack at Wal-Mart or home improvement store cheap. A pack of 23 watt for $8 or so. You can also get 42 watt...those are about 7 a piece or so. You want mainly 2700k for flower and 6400k for veg. My Journal
The best cfl are the ones you find broken in the bin. Forget cfl, want the best get hid, not ready for that try led CanniAnnie's Quest for balance
A 600 watt hid mh hps dual balast hood bulbs ect are like only 200$ on amazon ---------------------------------- there's certain accidents where you may be drunk and on drugs. but it's going to happen weather you are or your not -Ricky
I went to walmart and looked through all their CFLs. Some claimed to be "daylight bulbs" but the highest amount of lumens where like 1200k
No just saying it's really not that expensive ---------------------------------- there's certain accidents where you may be drunk and on drugs. but it's going to happen weather you are or your not -Ricky

Mine was a little more but only because I got an expensive hood. Ballast and bulb was around 150$ together CanniAnnie's Quest for balance
What was the wattage? I used the 23 watts when I first started they worked great if you keep them within 3 inches or so ---------------------------------- there's certain accidents where you may be drunk and on drugs. but it's going to happen weather you are or your not -Ricky
It's been hit or miss at Wal-Mart for me but I have seen some on occasion. Amazon is a good place to buy. I think $14 for 8 bulbs. Home improvement and dollar stores are good places. Sometimes thrift stores carry new ones. We have a place called bargain hunt and I found a 42 watt for $1 once. I look everywhere I go just in case I come across big bulbs (42 watt+) for cheap My Journal
Just how micro? There are various size hid. Maybe a 250w for you? 150w? CanniAnnie's Quest for balance
I got Apollo works fucking great their tents too ---------------------------------- there's certain accidents where you may be drunk and on drugs. but it's going to happen weather you are or your not -Ricky
Oh and lumens is different than color spectrum. 1200 lumens is good on a 23 watt. But it'll also have a color spectrum chart on the box telling you what range it's in (2700K, etc). K stands for Kelvin My Journal
I'm setting up the top self to grow the plants. I've gathered most of the materials except the exhaust and buying the bulbs.
Exactly. If hes in a computer case, I'm gonna turn around, and whistle as I walk away. Idk if a 150w would even work in that. CanniAnnie's Quest for balance
