Deal Alert!!! CFL'S

I just posted this in the general forum, but I wanted to make sure all you cfl guys saw this! I just went to Costco, and you can get a maximum of 16 bulbs, 43 actual watt CFL's for................... $0.50!!!!!!!!!! They have a mad $10.50 SCE discount! I just picked up 5, 3 packs and I am going to change my 23w to these larger ones. Go get them man!!!

one post is enough

haha my bad dude, i went to the general first, then I was like... shit, what if the cfl guys don't check this out.

Naw, on a deal like that, I'd say 2 posts ain't a problem!

Wish I had a COSTCO near here.

What is the cheapest place online to order from?

I've seen 26W 1660/1600 Lumen 5000/6500K Bulbs sold for $6-$10. Lowes has 23W 1600 Lumen CFL for 2.48 @ that price, it's hard not to wanna use a few. Even if you don't use CFL's primarily. It's always good to have a few CFL's to give your plants a little extra coverage! Shit, my setup now is all CFL's (HPS ARRIVES IN THE MORNING) and i've got 20 inch plants that look pretty good.
Using something like 13 of those bulbs. So 32.50 @ lowes for that, and I have a few more of the 26W ones I had from before I found them @ Lowes. so, 18 total if you count my 1x 55W 2300K CFL, I just switched to flower and and letting them flower their first week or so under the 4x5000K, 13x 6500K, and 1x 2300K CFL's (Put's me just under 34,000 Lumens and @ about 460W's, which personally is why I think MH will work better next time around, for the same wattage you get many thousand more lumens, but not the same coverage!), the 2300K was simply a way to get it used to the change in light spectrum (not needed I know), and give it usable light for it's change into flowering.

Sorry, got off topic...

My point being, cheap CFL's @ Lowes as well...not even close to that cheap. But i've seen the bulbs @ Costco, they usually don't label the Temp on it (ie; if it's 6500K or 2300K). So I never personally was interested. I could tell you what it was by looking @ it....but i'm not buying it under those conditions.
Anyway, good growing to you all!

good looks my boy!
and jesus why you always got to be a dick man, i mean this is a forum about growing herb, something that is "supposed" to make people happy, yet you always come off like a total asshat... any reasoning behind this or are you just a dick-head?

THANKS FOR POSTING!!!! The caps is for the fact that you posted it where a lot of cfl users would look!! +rep

ya man no prob, ohh and I completely forgot to check the temp of the bulbs when I was at costco. I was just dumfounded by the price. Luckily they are 2700k!

haha thanks for this.....i like the guy who said "one post is enough" sorry buddy not everyone one of us creeps through all the forums so once again thanks for this post.....RIU admins needs to block little shit heads like that one @$$hole

Is there anyway to get in costco without a membership? Like a visitors pass or something?

I use Mom and Dads card. They never check the pic unless you try check or credit. Cash out the door works just fine.

I think there may be a trial pass of some sort, maybe even for one day. I'm not positive though, you should probably call and find out!
