cfls vs long fluorescents?

i have a very decent cfl grow but i was wondering if the long bar fluorescents were any better and if they came in 5600k so i cud use 2700k in the 9 cfls to flower bc right now they are 26watt 5600k and then i cud make another setup with bar fluorescents to veg

The T-5 HO daylight tubes would work you can get up to 6500k with them

how many watts are they?

I use the 54w 4' daylight tubes w/6500K they work great for Veg.

can u get them from lowes?

I don't know I get mine at www.naturallighting.com

well i just got 2 4ft 40watt 3000k so ill see how that works

Why do you want 5600k? typo?

I use 2 T-5 ho 2 ft full spec (3000kand6500k) 4bulb 96w ea 8000 lumen for vegg and flower. I add a 150w hps during flower, I love my t-5's- low heat-low watts-good buds.

u can get 96watt each fluorescent bar lights?

i usually use flouros when i want to get all kinky with my girl and i come out the bathroom with a bathrobe acting like i'm Luke Skywalker... and the flouro is my light saber... i usually have it still plugged in when i'm swinging it around.... then i dress up one of the neighborhood kids as the little green guy... and i'd start yelling.. "YOU DON"T KNOW SHIT, YOUR ASS IS MINES BIOTCH"... then i would start doing summer-salts (don't know how to spell it) and start ducking behind furniture while i'm making light saber sounds with my mouth like this "DOOOSH..... DOOOOJJJ.....WOOOOSHH".... then the little green guy would say " let the force be with you" then i would say "OH YEAH... WELL.. YOU BETTER HOPE THE POLICE FORCE IS WITH YOU BIOTCH"....DOOOOOSH.....SWWWWOOOOOSH.......

moral of the story? i make pretty cool sword sounds with my mouth .... WOOOOSH

ps.... oh yeah... if its still plugged in... its not smart to take showers with your light saber.... trust me

wtf. wat was the point of that

the point i'm making.... flouros are only good for hitting people with...haha....
