thanks for stopping buy my journal hope to see you around

i'm from Gloucester,been down your way a few times....might go again this summer

what did u have to for it to be complete?

do you use those compact ballast? if so. what ones do you use? how long do they last?

yup, i started w/ CFL's, but gave up,and went HID. Now , ido know that the more the merrier with CFL's, but be careful cuz they get pretty hot, more than flouro tubes.
The bulbs i bought at lowes, were about $11.00 a pack for 5 42 watt CFL's. I had ten going in veg, eventually added a 150 w HPS for vegg also.
Never made it to Flower with CFL's.
Check out the CFL grow forum they can help more than me. sorry man!
