DONT PISS IN UR PLANT BRO YOU WILL PROLLY KILL IT AT THAT STAGE! And besides, do you really want to someday smoke your PISS?!! Get some bloodmeal like Stoney McFried said, or another one for nitrogen is Worm Castings, but i am telling you its not lack of nutes, its lack of TLC! get some 5000k Clfs bro and if your going to stick with cfls for flowering get some 2700k, but i recommend HPS if your going cheap i have seen some awesome grows done on a 150 watt hps, much more dense nugz than you will ever get with cfls.:leaf:

They should say on the box.Some say on the bulb or the base if your lucky.One or the other, I'm too stoned to look it up.

well i looked at that page and i did not see any of the specs we are looking, i know your short on cash bro but if you could spare 5 bucks at walmart you can get what you need as far as a starter bulb. may even be able to get a whole pack of 5 or 6 for 5 bucks, not sure i dont use cfls...unless for side ligthing.

this bulb is a "GE HELICAL 23 WATT FLE26HT3/2/SW/CD"

I cant find much out about it but i know it is 1700 lumens and it is soft white

Maybe this means something

Cfls will produce some dank nugz but it will require more work cuz you have to adjust light height and stuff like that but, sounds like you got a plan let us know if you need any help!!

Im using two of these light bulbs... do you think this is enough lumens (3400 lumens total for 2 bulbs) for my plants...im using a 2x3x7 closet... and are these in the right light spectrum since they are "Soft White"

thanks bro

I just set them on a 18on and 6off period starting last night.... my timer is messed up so i gotta get a new one.. also my grow room is 6sq ft.... im looking at profesional lights... cant decide between a dual ballast so that i can just switch out bulbs or go with a 250/400 hps and/or a 250/400 mh light... any sugestions? Also i would like to get some sort of carbon scrubber too hook up for it....

Yeah, the one bulb is a switchable MH, and that can be used in the 400 watt hps ballast.It is a pretty good deal.And it's not hard to assemble.No wiring, you just plug it in.

170 bucks?????

every place i been looking at has one 250HPS bulb/ballast for that price alone.... this is 400 dual with both bulbs and a timer for that price... holy shit.. thanks dude
