kelvins are more important than the lumens for the difference in veg or flower. find the kelvins first then the highest wattage will give the highest lumens. iv`e never heard of these nor seen them. without the kelvins you dont know what colour spectrum it`s for. if the guy at the hydro store sold you that for a grow light i wouldn`t deal with them. personaly i would return it if you can and get something better. spend cheep spend twice

this is my opinion on the best for your buck from best to least.
hps, mh, t5, cfl`s, flouro tubes. if you can afford it they do sell a switchable bulb or ballast. you use an hps ballast and the bulb switches from mh to hps,kind of expensive but i think the way to go |

OK so igot this brain wave on fri night so i went out shopping on sat and bought two 100watt cfl bulbs 1350 lumens each and two bulb holders.
Took down my flo set up took the tubes out and took the cover off. Drilled two holes in the cover and fitted the bulb holders. Wired the bulb holders together. Now i have a two foot double flo with two cfl bulbs all in one. Two wires coming out of the top with two plugs. One plug for the flo lights one plug for the cfl s.

If you want to bud weed, I would start lining the walls with 24" t5 flouro lights. You look like you have a dome shaped small shed that would be perfect for that kind of illumination.
You can also go the CFL rout but you will need a bunch for flowering, lots of them strung all over the plant. Think of a lot, more then that. Also your walls seem white, but not reflective, think about that. Flouro growing is all about maximizing your lumen output, you nee to think how you can futher improve that. |

Do you think another four cfl bulbs would be ok ? That would take me up to 9400 lumens in total. |

you want flat white for paint. you dont add the lumens like that they only cover a certain square footage so you cant just multiply them. i would add as many cfl`s as the heat will allow you to. but nevermind the lumens. get a bulb with the kelvin number around 2700k, that is more important. secondly the lumens will go up with the higher wattage bulb.
and yes those t5 flouro`s are sweet. i`m thinking of some myself. but there only 40 bucks for the whole thing. ( ballast/bulb) if you get 4 more, put 3 in the back and 3 in the front and leave the flouro tube on top. any ventalation in there? |
