hahahahaha, no.
wow really?
Fact is, The plant can normally use 10-30% of that light made.. with this light, the plant uses almost all available lumens and light emitted ,

haha 65 bucks for 42 watt cfls is terrible. You can get the same amount of watts at home depot or lowes for less than half of that. check out 1000bulbs.com for cfls i prefer smaller bulbs like 23 26 watt you can place the more instead of a couple big ones. However have seen people have success with big ones.. But anyways that is scam do not buy that shit

Edit: I got my 68 watters at home depot for 14.95 each you could get 5 of them for less than the ones your looking at

Your local wally world likely has a decent deal on the smaller cfl's but the net such as ebay and amazon can save you a lot of money on the 125Watt and higher cfl's but 26 through 68 are best purchased offline. (Home depot has 68 watters in 2700K for $18 or something like that)

Heres a link to my journal when I was using CFL'S. I liked the shoplights from walmart they were ten bucks and another five bucks for 2 four foot 6500 bulbs.
