THESE WALMART GROW LIGHTS USE LIKE A 8700 K SPECTRUM, I will get more info tommorrow, may be like 4200 k spectrum, AND MAKE YOUR PLANTS SHORT AND BUSHY. I TAPED 4 OF EM TOGETHER AND THINKIN BOUT BUYIN 4 MORE. 17WATTS EACH, PUTS OUT 75 WATTS OF LIGHT EACH. We all know what happens when u go to flower with HPS or MH light. Your plants stretch ,,,which is why gettting your plant short and bushy with the nodes close to each other is very important. Especially for indoor growing. Please gimme your reviews of theses lights. Im talkin bout the Walmart 24 inch fluorescent grow light they sell for around 10 bucks. They have worked great for me. I would provide pics but I dont have a camera. But I grew 5 plants last year and I vegged for 6 weeks and they were so healthy and friggin busshy I just had to share.

Ya you have to go in the store to get em. They keep em with the other fluorescent lights next to the bulbs. And I stated 11 watts but they are 17, oops. They emit 75 watts equivilent light.

You won't have shit for bud! Get real CFLs or go Hps! I know what you are talking about that they have at walmart they will not do anything for growing!! You have to have a lot of watts for good bud production! You can veg with flouros but I wouldn't do much more then that..

Wal-mart lights produce wal-mart quality weed that is what I always said
If you want to grow good quality pot there is no comparison to HPS or MH
Instead of buying these lights that, if you get into growing more seriously you will throw away in the long run,
save your money and do things right. These lights work okay but will not reward you with the
amount of weed for your effort. I have been there and done it all, there is no comparison to HPS/MH

Oh great Tom thanks for letting us know 10 dollar prostitute lights aren't as good as your 490 watt agromoon high powered nitrogen hps lights. Guess what Tom some people are on a budget and walmart weed may be just fine for them. Chitown you gotta keep any light close that isn't the sun. Stop bumping this dudes budget lights.

What's up CLOWN?
Did you not read my post? I clearly said that instead of buying these crappy lights, save your money so that you can do it right. My light cost 200 dollars shipped to my house. If you can't save up 200 dollars to get the proper light than you should not be growing at all.
Growing weed is an expensive hobby and if you skimp out on the proper tools for the grow than you are not going to get the results you are looking for. That is a FACT!
