I never discuss things like that on the phone - however, I think it might be safer than on a mobile. I just use other names for weed, lol

oh Iv always thought moblies may have been safer not sure why.. why do you think landline is better??
I try to use other names to but if anybodys listening they aint daft lol

Wonder if its just a mith about them as in police etc randomly listening?

Its not for hard wiring it has an edison screw on the back and is intended to turn 1 light fitting into 4, i have one but decided not to use it when i found out they wer banned on uk for safety reasons!

So is that a definate no for using them? :P just wondering, because they seem like such a good idea seeing as i'm intending to buy a pack of 4 bulbs at the same time, is it something to do with the voltage being too high? because it says it can support up to 250v, i probably won't buy it though if it is a safety issue.
And Cafeculture, thanks for all the advice, you're great! :D

No worries bro - that is the voltage no the actual power in watts of which the resistance can be calculated. You can try it, but you might be better going to a grow shop and some advice from them, they will have or should have the safer stuff. I'm not sure if the one you were looking at was CE marked for safety and it doesn't say - so if it is a cheap one - there is always that risk. you will need to buy a lead with the edison screw fitting on one side and a plug on the other, just to be sure - i would also add and RCD (Residual Current Device) when you plug it in.
Have a look at the pics on Vento's thread - I have just put some on there with my veg frame. Its good for the first 4 weeks, maybe until you save enough to buy a better lighting rig.....

Thanks for the compliment Youngsmoker!

As cafeculture said its more the overall wattage, as it is meant to adapt a single socket, if u look most singe sockets will say max 100w, it dose to a certain extent depend what ur putting in them, if for example it's 4 11w cfls u should be ok but it could generate alot of heat that close together. When i learnt this i purchased 2 grow cfls at 65w only a tenner each and made my own holders now i have more freedom to place my lights where i like rather than having all four together the bulbs come in different spectrums for veg and fliwer and are equivilent to 325w standard bulb, its very confusing when u first start growing, i was reluctant to belive that lighting really matters but im really happy i bit the bullet and upgraded to these, alot of people grumble about cfls but i dont want all the heat and messing about with hps not to mention the cost for the budget grower! I can post some piks of my himilaya blue diesel auto and the results i have fron cfl, i think you will be pleasently supprised!. If ur unsure about wiring ur own im happy to provide u with a list of what to get and how to wire it?

i cant really re-pot it because its strating to bud and i dont want to desturb it and end up getting shitty buds no just sunlight, soil, and tap water.

its really smelly and the flower hairs are getting bigger and bushy, its just over 6 weeks old so hopefully 2 - 2 1/2 weeks. iv put two more seeds out just waiting for them to pop

Just curious, I've been thinkin about getting some more seeds, I really want some super lemon haze! I've been using 'Seedmadness.com' and so far they've been really good, next day delivery and free shit etc... buuut a tad expensive compared to Attitude seeds and Nirvana. My question is;

How long does Attitude and Nirvana take (roughly) to deliver?

iv just got some super lemon haze and this is some lovely shit, i say go for it!!!

why dont you buy from dr.hermans or a shop here so you dont have to import them through the post?
