Oh, I'm not really bashing... LOL... I was feeling frisky. I absolutely adore CFL's for some weird strange reason... I am an old lady and it is just creepy how excited I get over high powered CFL's... I nearly peed myself in the aisle at Home Depot when I found the 300 watters!!!~
I chose CFL's on purpose but I feel like I am always defending my choice...
Here's one for the coffers, though... I did the math and I can run ALL my CFL's, approximately 3000 watts equivalent, for just under $6 a month in electricity during flower. Since I plan to go 12/12 from seed for the foreseeable future, it really does make this an affordable hobby for me.
But like I always say, there are wrong ways to grow weed, but there is NO one right way. For me CFL's work and I like it!
Sorry if I came off as bitchy. I'm outta weed and it's makeing me testy...
