I have some nice 125 watt CFL grow lights that are made by Hydro Farm (www.hydrofarm.com) They have both warm (2700K) and cool (6400k) colors.
I have both type of 125watt, as well as 4x 40watt 48" sabers, and 3 bulbs (1 100watt, and 2 32 watts). All in dirt.. Basics in nutrients.. And my crops of freak-smexy, strong and bushy!!!

I'll post pics soon. Thanks for this article BTW. Im going to try going with more 2700k lights. CFL's grow good sensi!

I have heard that you need between 60 to 100 watts per sq. ft. I have about 60 watts per sq. ft. of CFL's.

Be aware of the good advice above. The better spectrum that you have, the better results you will have.

I use all 6400k lights during vegetation. During flowering I throw in a few extra 2700k's.

Cheers, indeed my friend!

Ditch that 300 watt heat producing beast. You want to stay away from hps-like-heat producing cfl's. These Hydrofarm ones still produce heat, but enough to be dissipated in the room evenly, but hey, if you got the ventilation, you got the ventilation .

Here, looky:

Check out what ONE 125 watt Hydrofarm CFL 6500k Daylight and FOUR 26 watt 6100k daylights did for these babies at 32 days from seed in soil. (Grower will add two addidtional 125 watt 2700k warms when light changes to 12/12)






Female Pre-flowers of this plant^^^^, too. Look right in the middle of the two pics below.



Check my sig too.

Peace!

Well, they will give off less heat than a 250 watt HPS, but a single 300 watt anything will still be a lot of heat in one spot. I'm just saying even two 125's are better than one 300 cause you can spread the light/heat more efficiently.

I get you now pal,appreciate the advice. I havent started anything yet,just doing some reading & playing around with a few setups first,im nervous lol. Is it really ok to order the seeds online (i would be ordering to Ireland) it has me somewhat worried. There is a site called "cannabisseeds" , do you know if that site is ok?

thanks


EDIT
oppps may be i should keep these kind of questions of this thread to keep it tidy, im sure the mods can sort it out if they feel they need to though.

cheers

I dont know, this grow you see in my journal (down in my sig) and all these pics are from my buddy in Amsterdam. He has no internet right now. But I kow he just gets his seeds from his local coffeeshop. I wouldn't have a clue about ordering or attaining seeds. I know people order them online. Just go to Hightimes.com and check out different sites.
