k i didn't get much outta that lol...you must be stoned all i got was 2700 or 3000k but how do i know if its blue spectrum or red and also hot many per plant??? I do plan on doin cfl's, but money is not much of an issue i'm probably gonna end up getting em off of ebay tho because to buy them from the hydro store is way to expensive

you can go to your local walmart.and buy Ge 6500 k daylights 100 w 1600 lums each for abuot 697 per 2 blulbs and for clamp lights around 7 and y spliters thast make it so u can have 2 lights per fixter bad speller sorry
and when its time to go into your flowering you can do 2700 k or 3000k cfls still at walmart like around 10 for like 3


so wrap up basicly

for $6.97 for 2 26 w 1600 lum daylight 65k plus 2.50 for y sockect spliter
and 6.97 for clamp light with refliter
and 3.00 for sockect extenter so light clear refecter =right nect to y connecter

I like CFL's for popping seeds and early flowering adding a few more for vegging. Move them under HPS and a UVB Lizzard light for flowering. Works great. Aint sure why the Lord give us MH's. Whats up with that?

in retrospect a 400 watt hps puts off 50,00 lumesns and a 600 puts off 90,000-95,000 lumens. 20 23 watt cfl's would run 460 watts for 24,000 lumens. the lower the number the redder the light i do believe
