I have to admit by the time I had done the chemmy jones I had grown about 6 more varieties,and had changed the inside of the pc case massively,

I was asking Del what type CFLs to use for 2-3 12-12fs plants and he said envirolite 200-250w..i guess that's what he was talking about!! Are they cheap to run each month like other CFLs?

**dankerous** · 03-27-2012, 03:17 PM

I would agree with del there,and no they are cheap to run,but they do get quite alot hotter than you would expect,once you get to 200/250 watts anyway

They are cheap to run or not? Do you remember how much it added to your normal monthly light bill? How many plants could you do under a 250? Did you ever run one outside a PC case, what was your best yield?

It should pull just over 3kW untis a day. check the rate on your bill and do the math

I got a 23W osram cfl today wich claims equivalence to 120W and 3 year lifespan.... but it will burn your finger in like 5 seconds so thats over 50C. testing it against another bulb (eurolux) with two trays of 5 seedlings.

I'm thinking in turning on a couple cfls... for some cloning... I think cfls are great... my first grows where with cfls, and I think someday will try them out again like from start to finish, but for now still trying to squeeze that 400 to the max. also this is my first run with a 400.... hope you put your things together real soon, want to see some pics

Thanks roof, whats your medium or style of growing? what size of pots? what kind of yield you got from this light? and in what space?
Cheers to all 400ers!!
