    that was my fist bad luck grow setup, it is fine? what tips can you gave me for grow with 2 cfls 125w each?
    I wish i will go through the way and get it flower, what cfls should i buy for the flower time ? same 125w or 120w 2-3 bulbs are enough ? what do you think ?
    Yesterday i got me 3 auto seeds 1 amnezia haze and 2 cookies kush so the next grows will be auto and only 1 plant maybe in the next grow i will put 2 plants but for now only 1 plant under the lights.
    What would you tell?

    The grow is in Israel by the way
    I would mount the cfl sideways also they are more effective and maybe a reflective hood you could build a cheap one 😊

    We need a sticky thread explaining that CFL is not cheaper than HPS etc. I see 9/10 users choose CFL because electricity is somehow "cheaper" where as all your getting is less lumens and heat, nothing else.
    Edit: Infact it probably costs more in the long run buying those self ballast bulbs for like 30-40

    I'm curious to see how much it is to buy a 250 W Hps set up vs a 250 W CFL set up and how long they will last compared to each other and etc.

    doesnt matter, the hps will out perform the cfl hands down. so i know which i would rather use ...

    250w hps + ballast (digital)= £80-hundreds if you want.

    250cfl + cable with fitting on the end = £50+

    Still need some sort of reflector £20 upwards.

    Any decent company will tell you the cfl will only omit its best light for six months. After that the light works but has burned out the internal gases to produce best light spectrum for growing.
