300 watt CFL!

I just picked up two 300 watt CFL's today. Has anyone else seen them this big? Their fucking so bright you cant look at them and have a built in fan on each.

Comments?

Didnt even kno they made 300W cfls lol, u should post a few pics, closeup and far ones , and maybe have something beside it to judge the size of it.

Sunleaves makes one. Sunleaves VitaLUME Compact Fluorescent Bulb, 300W - Worm's Way

I got one... fuck I can't post a pic till morning when my roomate gets home. Ya, it's so big, it kinda made me laugh.

i got a 250 and thats huge so cant wait to see what the 300 looks like

Yes. I own one. I bought it from Worms way too!!. I am on my second grow. Unfortunetly, like a dumbass, I got paranoid about 4-5weeks into my first grow and killed it.:>(.

It grew quite well for the 4 to 5 weeks I had it. A good learning experience. I went out and bought some after I killed it :>( I do not know how this ight flowers though. Hopefully I will be able to find out shortley.

Has anyone flowered with CFL's? Has anyone grown good with less then what I have? If having 1 or 2 plants when they flower what kind of odor can I expect?

I would greatly appreciate some answers. Thanks.

There is a whole section here devoted to it (CFL Growing) so I am going to assume yes. lol

I'm flowering with CFLs and T8s right now.

Check out my grow journal.

from what i understand even though the yield is obviously lower the thc content is higher and the turpines more active producing a better taste/smell i just love the power of hps
ripz

yeah man i have two 250 watt CFL's.
I was gonna grab the 300's but didnt have enough lol they're kinda expensive.

I think that Worms light comes unballasted, meaning it will not work without a ballast.

Mine only costed $17 each. They are self ballasted and the ballast even has a small fan insode it. Last night was their first run and I constantly monitored temp. Never exceeded 35 degrees C. The ladies also responded quite well. My HPS was causing some intense stretching and now all my inner folliage is exploding!

Whats up guys, just woke up. Remembered that I said i would post a pic, so here ya go....

Check it out, 300W CFL

damn, that IS a fatty cfl. how many watt hps u got?

no hps.... for now

just (2) T8 fixtures 4 bulbs, 2 of the bulbs are the 'daylight' and the other 2 are 'plant and aquarium'.
Supplimenting that are (2) 150W cfls on reflectors and a huge 300W cfl on my big momma.
