Should be great. it always helps to get a lil reflector around those lights. i got my own cfl grow goin right now and im only pushing 74 watts. Seems to be doing fine, but like everyone always says the more light the better. I bet youd get real good results if you put 42 watts in the over head ones. help promote top growth. Im still learning tho

not sure but I think the 42W ones are like $50 each at home depot in canada. Shit I might as well get a HID system for that much. 4 of those would be 200 bux, I could get a 400W hps for that :) lol

Why not just make a cheap reflector and house them altogether. Look into vanity light fixtures and Y sockets.................

ah nvm , i musta been seeing things, i just checked n they're only like 12 bux each, but they only have em in soft white 2700k , good for flowering, bad for veg =/ I guess I could always veg with what I got, then get like 4 of the 42W ones for flowering the tops

the last one says item not found, and if ima spend 120 bux on 1 cfl bulb, id rather get HID lights. but that site is the best one ive found, all the other ones are way overpriced
