Hey everyone, I'm fairly new.
Im currently doing my first grow from bag-seed, and it is very, very.. very hard
living with religious/uptight/ parents that have noses like dogs.
Anyways i've got 6 sprouts about a week and a half old.. their each in medium sized cardboar jiffy pots.. and.. Laugh out loud, their getting to big for just one sylvania spot grow 120 Watt.
So I'm planning on going to walmart tomorrow to buy some cfls, going the cheap way out.
I need major help. Im totally clueless about cfls, ive been reading all about MH's and HPS's but the variety of cfls overwhelms me......
So, all the time on here I see people saying that their using "example" 8 26 watt cfls for their grow, or 10 26 watt cfls or 6 18 watt cfls or whatever..
So im thinking to myself why so many bulbs with little watts instead of less bulbs and more watts? Also, are all cfls compatible with growing? Or are meant mainly for housing? And another thing.. The Cfl's that are "example" 120 watts using the equivalent of 40 watts? what does that mean, are they bad? and it confuses me because is it putting out 120 watts of light or 40??
Thanks everyone
