two 75w grow lights from walmart help plz

i just bought two 75watt grow lights(tubes) from walmart for alittle over $10 a peice. it doesnt say anything about a spectrum or if its more for veg or flowering. and i need to know a good heigth range to keep it from the plants. i know CFL's are 1-2 inches away but i dont know if these are hotter or what.

Watts are watts, it is a measurement of energy used and the way non scientists measure it is usually by heat so i would treat them the same as any other 75 watt bulb, now is that actual watts or equivalent watts.

what do they look like? Can u find a pic? Most of my supplies i've gotten from walmart

my high ass finally found it. the spectrum is 7800k. not the best from what ive heard. a couple people on here said theyd only work for supplemental lighting but im doing CFL type grow. my plan is 4 clones, veg 1 month, then add some 2700k cfls around those babies and start flowering. sound do-able?

i think there 13watt cfl i was going to buy them then realized they were a 75 watt replacement

i got a thermometer, a 24 hour timer, 2 fans, and the lights. right now i have 2 seedlings that just popped the other day. im going to let them go till i get the clones in a few days or so, to help get my bearings alittle. ive never grown indoor and i just did my first outdoor grow sucessfully from bagseed and ended up with 2lbs, i didnt know anything till i found rollitup. i got this! :]

they arnt 13w, their 75watts im not stupid

or maybe i am idk now that i think about it...

i bought a 24" 17watt (equivalent to 75 watts) grow light at walmart for 10 bucks (came with the housing and grow bulb). This really doesnt do much but add a little bit of light in the upper part of the light spectrum on my autoflowering plants. I use it in conjunction with 2 42W CFLs at 2700k for 2 plants.

i just came from walmart myself, i went in to buy 4 23watt cfls but when i got there i found out that the 42watt cfls were on markdown for 6 bux, so i bought 4. (42 watt not 42 equivalent),

thats what i get for going shopping fucked up... ok so i got 2 seedlings under both of those right now and 2 more seeds about done germinating. so ill have those 4 in there till their sex'd. is that enough to veg them for awhile? how much more light should i add for flowering if i was to get 2 females. ill probaly get some 26w or 42w CFL's

I got two of these lights of america grow lights the spectrum is 7800k m I got them as add on lights to my cfl veg bulbs 6,500k & 5,000k I can keep mine close, but touching them. but the girls love them. I say use them with cfl'and they work great together . You will be amazed.

Those will work for 2 seedlings for about 2 weeks max. They are 17 watt fluos that emit 1093 lumens max.

My suggestion is that if you're worried about heat get a 150w hps for flowering
