Thats a halogen flood lamp. Don't use it. My dad uses those in recess lights and track lights. There not overly bright and they are really hot.

That depends on your definition of "cheap" but you can use CFL's if in the proper Kelvin range and if you use an adequate number of them and they can be purchased most anywhere these days.

i use that light for my ball python's cage, raises temps up 10degrees from the ambient air...i wouldn't recommend it.

here is a chart i found online that shows approximate light production
Incandescent("grow bulbs"): 17 lumens/watt
mercury vapor: 45-50 lumens/watt
florescents: 60-70 lumens/watt
metal halide(HID): 90 lumens/watt
High Pressure Sodium(HID): 107 lumens/watt

it says 14 watt 120 v 60 hz

First Plant (comments and suggestions please)



i don't tell people they can't grow with a certain type of light ,

 

[PinchedNerve]

yup you want that kind only larger you can get more as you go but a few of those in a blueish white or 6500 spectrum.

 

[newb weed grower]

am i able to make one if i had a few of these on it like say 4

 

[Johnny Retro]

You can start out with one in the begining stages but you want to add more when you plants get bigger. The more light you have, the more dense the buds

 

[newb weed grower]

ok well this is first time but im tryiong to get it right u know

 

[PinchedNerve]

4 is a good starting point but as JR said you will eventually need more, but they are cheap at any store.
