I need to get a new light.
At the moment i got a two foot double flo. Its crap
Don"t know what sort to get.
Can" get anything that produce"s too much heat.My grow is in a shed.
What sort would be best ?
This is a small grow only two plants at a time.

well i am doing the same but iver got 12 growing in my shed and 3 in my house
at the moment i am using a 3500 lumens cfl for my babies which are in the shed and they are loving it ( check out my thread White Widow grow
and the ones inside which are nearly finished i have only used 4 100w energy savers and i will admit as sugested by lots they wernt enought for a good grow
i am going to buy 4 - 6 5 foot cfls for the 12 which are in my shed.
how many lumens have u got in total ? per plant.....

2nd grow ..http://www.rollitup.org/outdoor-growing/87708-garden-white-widow-uk.html

I got about 2300 lumens ?
didn"t know about lumens and lots of other stuff till i joined this site.
My plants are growing. But now i"ve realised that they need much more light.
Otherwise i"m probly wasting my time with the set up i got now.
I"ll try to upload some recent pics soon.

well my last grow when i started i was only using 2 100w energy savers and it slowed the growth down alot
just get more light ...

Hi there! I'm new to this as well, but my boyfriend and I have been doing this for about 1.5 months now. After much trial and error, we decided to try out the T5 fluorescents. We were running out of money, and our space is real small, so the heat was a giant factor. The T5's don't get that hot though. We bought a system with 4 - 4' bulbs, and it has 20,000 initial lumen output. So far, so good! Also, it wasn't that expensive, about $130. Personally, I think they're a good choice if you're growing a small crop, as they're bright as hell! Hope this helped!

Different every week.
But if i can"t afford it i will save up till i can.

Thanks for the info. It sounds like your grow is double the size of mine.
I can just fit a two foot flo in there. But thanks anyway

I just been out to the shop and bought a philips 240volt krypton 100 watt bulb.
It gives out 1550 lumens.
Is this any good.?

When in the shop i seen a 240volt 115 watt cfl bulb.
That only give out 1300 lumens.

I"m out shopping for lumens nowadays lol
My wife thinks i"m fucking crazy.
I had her looking at all the bulbs looking for the one that gives out the most lumens

This site has really got me hooked.

i would recomend just going for an hps. they realy dont cost that much and nothing compares for lumens.a 400 watt has about 40 to 50,000 each. my ballast (used) cost 30 bucks,my 430 watt sun agro hps bulb cost 30 bucks ( new) , my hood was 70 bucks (new)
do you have a 240 volt power source to light that bulb?
what is the kelvin rating on that bulb, i`ll go look for that bulb. never heard of it
