I got my digital 400 watt HPS with cool tube for under 200. He said his room is 2' by 3'
If you want to properly light up that area than you need a 400 watt HPS. You are telling him to buy a shitload of CFL's which will probably end up being close to or more than 400 watts. You want him to use the same amount of electricity to not properly light up the space. Great tip dude
well first of all, i was talking about him using about 200 watts to grow, i dont believe hes trying to fill his with plants he said just a couple, so cfls, low and around the plant would work well for his grow actually.
using 200 watts is half of 400.. idk if u know that..
and buying 200 watts of cfls will cost maybe even 1/4 of that. once again.. 5,000 posts, think u would know that..
the idea that he has only one flourescent bulb makes one think "hmm maybe hes not trying to spend a couple hundred bucks on a beginner grow"
hes not doing a sea of green, a 400 is unecessary for his small grow, but a 150watt hps would b cheaper to buy, cheaper in electricity, and would fullfill his every needs
so if im leaving bad tips, telling him that he can still be cheap and efficient, the fact that u left a tip telling him to mutliply his costs of equipment and electricity is nothing short of useless.
no shit a 400watt hps would b better than a 20 watt flouresecnt bulb.
geez who woulda ever thunk it
