100 watt cfl's

How did that 100Watt work out?

I've used 100 watt cfl's for some time. They work well, but I use one per plant. I have seen 200 watt cfl's (u-shaped tubes instead of spiral) but have yet to purchase any. They're about $15, but could be well worth the price. Anybody had experience with these?

YA I posted the same thing lol.. 15.00 ? NO WAY.

are you guys talking about a true 100 watt cfl or some of those house bulbs that say 100 watt equivilent but are actually like 15 watt or something, i think thats whats going on here, i was in rite aid and picked up a pack of 3 100 watt equivilent bulbs that are going in the house not the grow

evri 1 is just confud man

ya i just purchased my 125 watt cfl for 60$ at a local hydro store. i think they had 200 watts for 110$.
i as well use the clamps with the reflectors and their fuckn awsome

I bought 105 watt actual wattage bulbs but cooling them is proving to be a major problem in a small cabinet. CFL's get quite hot

these are 125 watt and 250 watt monsters and are the cheapest i've seen at $35 for 125 and $70 for 250's we also have the newest lastest and greatest style called rosebud. These are 105 watts but are 30% more efficient than the U type. The technolgy is simple, the larger gaps between the tubes allow more light to shine through and also keeps them cooler. These are $35 and have a standard lamp base not mogul. These are all actual watts. We should stop quoting equiv watts. They refer to incandescent equivulants not gas discharge (MH, HPS) we don't use incandescents for growing ..do we?

I'm about to do a grow and I think I'm gonna use one of those 250 watt one on 2 plants. I'll post a thread soon. Should be pretty sick!

I use a 200watt grow light and a 300 watt grow light and there good not too much heat off them

does that bulb have to go into a ballast fixture?

I'm gonna start on a grow this week with the 250w. Plants will go 6 week veg in fox farm ocean forest soil. Using fox farm grow big during veg stage. Thread up soon.
