What is a good online store to get some high powered CFL? I can't find a local shop that has anything over 23w.

At StealthHydro.com they just got the new 105 watt bulbs. A couple of months ago, there was no such thing. They also have the 85 and 65 watt bulbs. I can't beat their prices unless I order by the dozen.

pulse start hid - its just the way the kight is ignited by using high voltage pulse across the electrodes

Click to expand...

cfls and sunlight can be a great combination... if you have the time. it is perfect if you want to grow a couple nice plants. i try to use direct sunlight as much as i can and then i always have the cfls as a backup. but like i said you hafto be around quite a bit if you want to get constant sunlight.

but i still wish i could afford an hps and just use that ...one day:joint:
