I have found that at $10 a pop the 32 watt cfls are not worth it...
You can get a 4 pack of 23 watt cfls for $8
Light sockets with 6' cord for 2 x $3 = $6
Socket spliter 2 x $1 = $2
Meaning you could get 4 - 23 watt cfls for a total of $16, less than the cost of 2 32 watt bulbs...
Not to mention
4 x 23 = 92 total watts
2 x 32 = 64 total watts
You are also able to cover the plant more evenly and get the lights closer to the budding sites with 4 light bulbs instead of 2...
Right now I am 7 weeks into flowering using only 23 watt cfls...
I have 10 x 23 = 230 watts of cfls producing
6 x 1750 = 10,500 lumens (soft white cfls)
4 x 1600 = 6,400 lumens (daylight cfls)
For a total of almost 17,000 lumens, which is apparently adequate for my one flowering lady...
She is about 2 feet tall, 24 inches, with the ten 23 watt cfls all around her from top to bottom.
Has anyone else here gotten good results using only 23 watt cfls?
Do you agree its worth it to get 23 watters instead of 32 watters?
