Walmart 24" "grow light" floros
Are these any different than the regular floros they sell right next to them?
I have four of these over my two plants now and wondered if they require a different replacement bulb.
THANKS ALL!

Hmmmm......How many should I use for two plants? They are both about 12" tall right now and I just dropped them down to 12/12. I cant afford the expensive lighting right now and this is my first grow.
I have them in a box painted flat white right now as a stealth closet grow, if that makes any difference.
BTW: I love your avatar......Do you have a high res. version?

12" high? For how long have you been growing them? Any pics?
I started with the exact same lights (5 of them) and switched to 10 26w CFLs. If you do not, they will stretch really bad, if they have not already. At least this is the experience I had with these lights.
Wal-Mart sells 6500k CFLs @ 26w which will serve you very well. 4 of them will serve you much better than the 4 your have. You can get cheap clip on sockets which have a reflector. Surround them with these 4 lights and you will see a huge improvement.
The next issue you are going to face is flowering. Both of these lights re the wrong color for flowering and way to little light.

Agree. For your 2 plants, try to get some CFLs. The highest I've seen at Wal-mart are 42w, which push out like 2700 lumens each. For flowering, use the 2700k spectrum (red/orange) bulbs. 6500k spectrum (blue) for vegging.
Then plop those suckers 1-2" from your plants.

They should be different unless you are getting ripped off. I use the cheap floros for vegging, but I use the expensive light for flowering. If you want good results you need the money lights.

How much do these clip-on sockets you speak of run $?
Thanx in advance
