Cfl's

Hi i was just wondering where abouts in the uk i could buy some decent cfl's and what watt they would need to be to grow 1 or 2 lowryders?

Thnks

go to any electronics store, or tecos, asda, sainsburys will sell them.
if not order online.
a couple of 42w should be okay for two lowryders.
make sure to get bulbs that the spectrum is 6500k for vegetative growth, and a bulbs that are 2700k for flowering.
get like 4-5 23w 6500k and 4-5 23w 2700k hope i helped

Most UK stores tend to stock 20w or less. Screwfix do bigger but for 2 lowryders have a look at a 125w envirolite. You can get them on fleabay or your local hydroponics shop for about 20 quid with another fiver for a socket with a plug on it. They grow some nice weed.
They may still do dual spectrum ones if money is tight. 1/2 and 1/2 6500k and 2700k. Not used one myself but I have some blue light in my flower room and find it beneficial, so they should be ok for veg and flower.

thank you for your suggestions guys i will have a look around see if i can find some from one or more of the stores you have mentioned

I have heard that the lowryder plant does not have a vegative stage so would i just be ok to get a couple of 2700k light bulbs ??

yes you can start 12/12 from seed. but since lowryder is an autostrain you can leave lights on 18/6 and they will still flower at the same time and will have more light time

i had this same prob, i went to b&q, garden centres, hardware shops like wilkinsons and so on and the highest wattage i could find was 23 watt which is equivilant to 100 watt,and i found them at b&q. then i just thought fek it and got a 250w hps instead.
but like african says they shud be ok

good luck man

sorry i didn't answer your question, i was blazed.
but 2700ks would be fine, but you can get better results by using a mixed spectrum of lights.
half of your bulbs you get should be 2700ks and the other half should be 6500ks.
someone once told me that plants love a mixed spectrum and they were right
