whats the most watts anyone has used?

cfls, right now im running 525 true watts not equiv.

wow that would be alot of 23 w cfls lol

whats the heat of that like?

i ran 500+ cfl last grow, it was dumb so fucking bright lol. heat was just crazy, ill never run that many ever again. i ran 200w of lights on this current grow and got pretty much same results. just depends on veg time ;/

i run 5 x 105 true watt cfls plus my t5 4ft 8 bulb and there is no problem with heat at all i live in a very cold climate and even with the lights and fans i cant make it get over 75 in my 5x8x5 room granted its in an attic but still fully sealed room

they are so cute when they are young lol

44-- 23 watt
4---40
2---32
5---60
1536 watts... veg room...

With CFL's?...

24 bulbs@42 actual W plus 2 more 68's=somewhere around 1,000 or so true CFL watts.

And it became ridiculous so finally switched to HPS.

I think he means HPS, but you never know I might be wrong.

I have over a 1000w of cfl.....but I've never had all 40 bulbs on at the same time.

Cfl--44x23w
Led--2x9.5
T5--8x14w

It works for me

In the CFL forum, who'd a thunk it?

in the cfl forum it would make sense.....
