So I was getting my usual news through Yahoo like I usually do in the morning and noticed this post about China is stopping mining for Rare Earths for a bit and companies here in the USA and in Europe are both feeling the affect of that. 11w CFLS that were like $2 are now like $15. So I suggest if your area hasn't felt the affect yet, invest in your CFLs before the price skyrockets!

Here's the article:

I have the bulbs I need already. lol. Well the CFLs. Next grow I'm doing 2 600w HPSs with some additional side lighting. So no more need for those bulbs, just trying to forewarn everyone else.

I hope they didn't hit your area yet with the price change. Make that your first thing to do in the morning. You never know when it'll change if it hasn't already.
