Are these the right CFL's ???

If these are the really good ones and are the right ones, then my hydro shop is fucking people in the ASS.

This website sells 200watt 6500k or 2700k (veg or bloom) for 66.95$ and you can add the reflector and socket for 35$ more.

That is 101.95$


Ok So I went into my local hydro shop unfortunatley the ONLY one in my city.. sigh.

and he is charging 140$ for a 200 watt cfl like that one... 38$ JUST for the mogul socket and 37$ for the cheap batwin reflector. thats

215.00$
rofl.... could get a badass hps light for that much.. what a douchebag.



am I missing somthing.

are these 200w floro 6500k lights ACTUALLY 200 wats... so if I buy 2 of them thats 100 wats per plant right???? am i missing somthing or is 65.95 a normal price for 200 wat lights like this... ?

how well could i grow 4 plants under 2 of those 200 watt floros ?

I really dont see the big deal with cfl's,except for the heat control factor,but that seems a bit pricey for my standards.Besides,I uss a t5 setup that works well.

and besides,you want lumens,so as long as the light puts out the lumens for your space,it's no biggie on the wattage of the lamp

so the 200w floros they sell are 10,000 lumens per light

now your talkin.The only to watch for is what they will pull energy wise

Why do you want such a high wattage anyways?? I have 2 42w n them suckers do the trick

You can save money and get more of a blanket of light by using a ton of 26 watt cfls. They can be purchased in 6 packs at places like Menard's for about $11 - $13. Buy a bunch of .99 cent cords and some $2 socket plugs...maybe a few $3 y splitters and viola you can hang 26 watts exactly where they'd do the most good.

If you are going to buy $200 worth of stuff...I'd shop ebay and get a 400 watt hps system instead.

yeah,as I said i run a 4x24watt 6500k T5,and it more than does the trick

So.. I could use 4-6 24 watt all the way through flower?

all the way htrough veg,i use a 1000 watt PlantMax bulb in a Lumatek digital ballast.HID for flowers,unless you like airy nugs....

I just went to ebay and got a 400 nw dig ballast with MH and Hps bulb with timer with hood for 210 including shippping its form htg supply
