cheers, thats the cheapest i've found 25w cfl's... £1.97 each

still no luck on the adapters though... anyone? or even decent fixtures that would eliminate the need for the 'Y' adapters???

thanks alot mate. ill check your journal after a bit more aimless googling!

i was growing 2 bagseed which both turned out to be male just last week, im germing a single greenhouse fem cheese just now and just ordered 5 fem lowlife auto white russian. i only have a 2700k 200w envirolite just now so i'm going to get a couple 6700k cfl's for vegging and about four more 2700ks. looks like ill be DIYing my fixtures though!

You guy's don't have hardware store's in the UK? That is the easiest place to get them.
