crackin threads on here:) nice to see the CFL movement grow too!

I had some autos under 300w CFLs and it was magic! with minimal/budget venting etc my cupboard stuck around 29celsius too!

I had 2wks of flowering left when my flatmate got our place visited by the popo:/ all landfill now. big CFLs are just a bit pricey to replace!

try to look in to them LED bulb`s too, I seen good results with them too, with even less power used and heat

can also get em with other fittings E14 aso I might build a Veg fixture with 8-10 of this but Im sure you can flower with em as well, just get the right spectrum (IMO 3-1 2700-6500K)

do you use any side lighting with that rig? I am thinking of doing something similar with CFLs but at my current location running only 12 bulbs 268 actual watts total, and my temps are in the upper 80's lower 90's right now with a 6" inline fan for exhaust and 4 fans blowing on the plants.

I really like cfl's for the money. But I would not use under a 55w (200w equivalent)
I am running 4 bulbs x 55w in a 2.5'x 2.5' and the buds get quite solid.
