are these bulbs cfl ?

i can get them for free so if they are that would be awesome.

yes, but there 8Watts, you are going to need a shit load of them.

Ya i would suggest getting a 150 watt cfl or a bunch of the 26 watt cfls like 4-5 of the 26 watt ones

i have 4 of these at the moment my cabinet is roughly 2x3ft and im not looking to grow alot. these bulbs say 20w-100w, so im not sure how they are 8w ? not questioning what you know just abit confused.

an 8 watt cfl is equivalent to a 50-100 watt regular incondescant light bulb like a light blub thats in a lamp. A 100 watt incondescant light bulb found in a lamp is nowhere near strong enough for growing. It is an 8 watt cfl which is equivalnt to 50-100 watts. If your growing 1 plant you can prolly get away with 5 of those little bulbs

CFL's are great to start your plants with and in the beggining they don't want much light.

Good Luck

Ya it will do just fine for the beggining. They will just need more light when they start to grow up and get bigger

Those are not 8 watts. They are 20. If you look closely to the writing around the 8, it says years.

4 or 5 of those 20w bulbs should be able to produce 1 decent plant.
