i found out that there are some cheap (in comparison to europe store prices) cfls on ebay. They are from ebay shop sellers. Like 2 x 35 watt cfls for 13€. Worth a look and shouldnt be too risky because buying cfls isnt a huge red flag for police.

Yeah they are for the house and not the grow room but some people insist on using them, so instead of hindering why not help.

Let them find out the miserable truth.

I just use a couple of low watt CFLs for rooting my clones.....there is no miserable truth for this purpose, they work a treat and made it very easy for me to setup a seperate small space for my clones. But it has to be my HPS for flowering.
