I washed out the whole thing (except the top and net pots) with fresh water, dryed it with a towel, sprayed with 10% bleach, hosed it out several times, and...

    CFL vs HID

    Saw a video on youtube about using large (200 watt) cfl's for grow lights. Like the idea of saving electric and keeping heat down. Are they a waste of time???? What about using them in conjunction with HID's. If you have links to grow logs, I would appreciate it. Thanks!!
