Hello I'm new to the whole growing and CFL lights and I have a curious question. Today I picked up some 26w 6500k CFL for veg but when I got home and look at some CFL grow post, I noticed a lot people mentioning 23w. The question is: What is the difference between my 26w 3500k and other 23w 3500k? thanks in advance

your lights have three watts more power...

hahaha sorry what he said is funny. ya no difference only 3w more so your lights are 3w better

Sorry i mean 6500k :X i was gone earlier

I would definatly go with the 26 watters, or 23, whatever is cheaper, I think that it doesnt matter, just 3 more watts I mean your not gonna get more.

Do yourself a favor, go buy some of the big 43w CFL bulbs. They are way bigger and will work a lot better. Those 23w lights are only good for household lighting.

42 watters are 2700k and still could be used for veg, they are like 8 bucks a piece at walmart.
