need for what? probably better asking over in the growers section, and put more detail in your post, i.e what're you tryin to do?
how many plants are you trying to grow?... i dont really see what one cfl is going to do adding it to a 400w hps...besides a little extra light, unless you are growing a few plants then i would get a couple cfls... you should ask this in the growers section
exactly a 400w hps is beast...just make sure you set everything up to reflect light properly and get rid of the heat.
hi sorry i just signed up yeah my HPS seems fine but people keep telling me a need CFL blue spectrum im a new grower too never done it before sorry for the confusion
i only wanna grow a few like 5 or something i already have the hps so if that not good enough i wasted me money
the type of socket that bulb will fit into...its smaller than a standard light bulb socket...you can find higher wattage cfls that dont require special sockets. depending on how big of a space your gonna grow and how you have it set up its very possible to grow 5 plants with one 400w hps. personally i would add a few cfls around it...it all depends you will deff get better answers in the growers section, but you're gonna have to explain your setup and planning a little more for them to help you out
my grow room is only small its a wardrobe in my bedroom the 400w is on the top shelf but i been told HPS on its own stresses the plant out somebody told me i need to add this CFL blue spectrum 6400k bulb all i wanna do is grow a few plants i could probably fit 5 or 6 plants in the space i have i just wanna grow a few not looking to make money i just wanna grow some of my own bud as i say i already have a HPS so theres no turning back now if that is the wrong light im new to growing i really dont have a clue am learning as i go on So if i buy this CFL bulb what else do i need to run it???? from the photo it looks like i just need a normal table lamp but i really dont know [ame="http://www.amazon.co.uk/GreenLamp-Spectrum-6400k-light-Bayonet/dp/B004G6TKLY/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1304438040&sr=8-2"]GreenLamp 65w Blue Spectrum 6400k CFL grow light lamp bulb Bayonet B22: Amazon.co.uk: Lighting[/ame] [ame="http://www.amazon.co.uk/GreenLamp-Spectrum-6400k-light-Bayonet/dp/B004G6TKLY/"][/ame] [ame="http://www.amazon.co.uk/GreenLamp-Spectrum-6400k-light-Bayonet/dp/B004G6TKLY/"]GreenLamp 65w Blue Spectrum 6400k CFL grow light lamp bulb Bayonet B22: Amazon.co.uk: Lighting[/ame] i am new to the site too i posted this 3 or 4 times now am getting answer from all over the place they told me to come here hopefully am in the right place now
hi yeah the light is about 3 feet away from my its only a little warm in there not much it does get hot where the bulb is but the plants shouldnt get burned no the set up i have looks ok its just i been told to get a CFL bulb for the blue spectrum read post above it tells you my set up
You should be good with what you have...as for the cfl find one with a normal socket I believe it's an m39? (could be totally wrong and I'm not currently home to reference). Just make sure it's a higher wattage...they go up to 100-120watt I believe with the regular socket. Just make sure it's daylight 5000-6500K for veg. When flowering you want a 2700K.
hi this is the CFL am thinking of buying just wish it told me what i plug the bulb into is it for a ballast or is it for a normal beside table lamp [ame=http://www.amazon.co.uk/GreenLamp-Spectrum-6400k-light-Bayonet/dp/B004G6TKLY/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1304438040&sr=8-2]GreenLamp 65w Blue Spectrum 6400k CFL grow light lamp bulb Bayonet B22: Amazon.co.uk: Lighting[/ame]
That's not a normal socket...it says b22 in the title... http://www.1000bulbs.com/product/8256/FC105-S50OD.html This bulb is great for veg. I know its only 5000K but its full spectrum...it imitates natural light. 100 watt cfl is the equivalent of 500 watt incandescent so it will be putting out a lot of light. They also have a 2700K for flowering.
