its okay i figured it out. a 100w incandescent bulb running on 120v produces more lumens than one on a 240v....:peace:

Dont know if this a good place to ask, will probably ask on yahoo answer or summat but.....Ok i've noticed while browsing the forums that most States etc bulbs are a higher wattage for the same light. Here in the UK 100w equiv bulbs are around 18-20 watts at a voltage of 230-240v. Where on the...

from seed......let me think..about 6 weeks..summat like that. started the germination process, in soil on the 28th Jan. :joint::joint: I had 4 others that where male :( o did i say it my 1st ever grow...lololol

same here with the cuboard, plus cant really afford HID's and all the extras involved so it has to be eco-light and cfls

Cheers for the comments dude!!

OK, This is my one and only sexy K2 girl 2 days into flowering. Shes under a 125w eco-light(envirolight but better build appartantly) with 4x20w surrounding. Gonna put can reflectors on each of the 20 watters when i get some insulation tape to prevent electrifying the cans. Probably add a few...

why dont you just buy a e40 lamp socket?

From what ive read you need a optimal of 3000 lumen psf to enrich with co2. Peace:peace:

A tubular/rectangular CFL i would say produces more penatrative light where as the spiral spreads it over a wider area and requires a slightly higher wattage for the same light..because of the damage cause to the phoshor while being manufactured. I could be completely wrong im not an expert. Im...

I had two going because of space limitations, but one turned out to be male :cry: the one i've got left is a sexy bitch, proper bushy. I made sure i picked a strain that wasn't that hard to grow. Yield i've not got a clue its my 1st gow with this setup.

Its whatever works best for you matt and how many plants, Im Using 4 20w CFLS as surounding lights and one BIG FUCK Eco-Light 125w (ECOTECHNICS - horticultural supplies) all with reflectors.

Im not saying they dont work DUH obv i've been following many a Amazing grow with them...im just saying the tube ones are CHEAPER TO PURCHASE and MORE EFFICANT!

I do, hold on....... (Philips CFL Tornado) Last Paragraph (sic) The helical compact fluorescent lamp was invented by Ed Hammer at GE in 1976. His proposal was to coil a long, thin high efficiency tube into this form, such that it would better match the size and light distribution of a...

Just thought i would share this with all you boys and girls... Go for the Tubular CFL's and not the Spiral ones, well for growing anyways, the spiral one are for decorative effect and thus the glass(or whatever the technical term is) has to be thicker reducing efficency.

Nah man 125w is the true wattage..i have that running and 4x20w cfls running.

Yeah its the 125w that about 14" long. Made by ecotechnics..(ECOTECHNICS - horticultural supplies). I bought it off a hydroshop on ebay. about £10 ($20) less than in stores...sorry that with lead, e40 and reflector. From what ive read on some ponic sites its a better build than envirolight as...

yeah you can water it with piss because its high in Nitrogen with the added benefit of it being Organic so you dont get Nute block..or summat like that. You need to dilute it tho, about 8oz to the gallon and if your growing indoor do it could smell abit...:blsmoke:

125w is it consumption, the eco light is the the same as the envirolight but better build quality

Yo guys and gals, i not sure if this is the correct place to post so forgive me if its not. I have just recently purchased a 125w not so compact 2700k CFL Eco-Light for my flowering. Does anyone have any idea what the lumen output is of this light? It doesn't say on the box or the manafacturers...
