how much would the cheapest ufo be (enough for 1 plant)? Isn't it like around a hundred or more? If so, that's out of my budget

dangg for 150, i think i'd consider getting some sort of HID and a ballast. I'm considering just using that last bulb that linked to (the 2700k one) for flower, maybe 2 of them, along with some 2700k and 2500k cfls. For veg im probably going to use one of those 42 watt 6500k cfls that fits in the regular sockets. im pretty sure my home depot sells zt least one kind of those
hmm, i heard flowering with CFLs gives bad results?
Im currently using a floodlight for veg. Workz well. Flowering may be different. Dont knock it until you have tried it yo'sive.
Seth Rogan, I know where you live. I let you go in front of me at the Supermarket at 12AM because all you were buying was a pack of bacon.
Also, at 40 bucks each, you might be better off going DIY led, with 3w Bridgelux emitters....

Um...where did you hear that? They do a pretty decent job for small plants.

I personally wouldn't get those lights for growing... For the cost of them you could get 3-6, 2700k CFL's at a decent wattage or even 1, 125w CFL... Ignore the equivalent watts because you only want Actual watts... Those LED spotlights you want will not do as good as a decent CFL setup imo.
So yeah for the price of 2 of those bulbs, you could get a decent CFL setup OR a decent 250w HPS Setup.
Once you've yielded a few times then go for the good LED's, if that's the road you want, next grow I'm grabbing a 240w Blackstar and a 100w blackstar UFO they are definitely worth the investment! Cheap to run, yield very well (with the 3w chip sets) and are easy to cool a room.
You've been reading the haters threads again haven't you... That or actually believing people who don't know shit

Do I know what I do is illegal? Yes, but morally do I think that what I do is wrong? Absolutely not.
what are you gonna do for flower?Im currently using a floodlight for veg. Workz well. Flowering may be different. Dont knock it until you have tried it yo'sive.
