I'd like to know the same thing. I bought 2 of the lights today and installed them, being that this is my first time growing, and I'm offcially broke now that I've bought all the essentials, fertilizer, soil, pots, etc. I was wondering if I could get a decent supply of bud while attempting to grow the plants using these lights.

They're incandescent.So, not good for growing.If you're talking about the ones with the blue coating, 75 watt, read the package, it says it makes plants LOOK greener,because it has a blue coating.Wrong spectrum, too hot. Try cfl's.

Damn, I wish I still had the packaging, I'd return the bulbs I bought if I could.
Oh well, you live and learn, thanks for the reply though.

I have another question, when looking at CFL Flourescent bulbs, show I be looking at the bulb's watt output or the equivilant output? I.E. if a bulb that has 26 watts and is equivilant to a "standard" bulb that gives off 90 watts, which listed set of watts should I be looking at?

look at actual, and check spectrum, 2700k for flower and 6500k for veg. check lumens, you want about 5000 lumens per plant. closer the better, cfls give off light on the sides.

Are there any major retail stores that sells the necessary bulbs needed in order to grow? Again, this is my first time growing, and I'm only looking to get 1 or 2 small, but good sized plants. I'm a little frustrated, simply because I messed up when it came to getting the proper lights. Anyway, is there someplace I can go to get these lights, or am I going to have to purchase them via the net?

Right on, last thing...I promise, lol
would these be good bulbs to use during my plants veg. state? (I plan on having them in the veg. state for 2.5-3 months, then I'm going to move onto the flowering stage)

So, would it be a good idea I bought 2 of the 65 watt bulbs and 2 of the 2 pack 23 watt (2700K) bulbs and just focused on growing 1 or 2 plants? (Since I'm growing indoor, I'm not worried about fucking up, I've got plenty of seeds, and can grow year round)
