Think this Link is Dead??_http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Error?errid=5&item=Hydroponic...item5d3ef69716

Peace

Just looking into the others...

EDIT: Just a Quick Question_ So you stuck at the moment with a 90x90x100cm Tent? (3' x 3' x 3' - Roughly)

Any reason why CFL? rather than low wattage...say 250w Hps/Mh

:weed:

Oh..by look of your Links(FleaBay) take it you based in UK? or least nearby??

Oops nearly forgot,,LOL Baked already :bigjoint: will you be using this tent for Flowering as well, because 6Plants? Ladies will bush out...What you thinking(Strain wise) going with...maybe want to look into Autos..take up less space....

Not quite sure what kind of help you want? picking the best CFL/Fluoro for your needs n monies?? best thing I can say is look up which setup gives you the most Lumens per Buck$$ and if its just for Veg, because you using the Hps for Flowering it doesn't need to be all powerfull for the Veg? depends on what you growing and how many and how long you going to Veg for??

I Did my first Grow with a 200w Dual Spectrum Giant CFL(Now I have 600w Hps) but with the 200w CFL I did a whole grow>Seed to Chop and got 4oz of 4 x Ladies..a 200w CFL will give you anywhere from 8000 - 10,000 Lumens at maybe 3-4" away with very little Heat and for just Vegging would be fine.

Peace

Going to get Baked now :bigjoint:...Back 2moz

should I get two 200watt of these or 1 300watt 2x200watt in lumans would be over 16k lumens : http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Red-Blue-Dual-Spectrum-CFL-Grow-Light-Reflector-Hydroponics-Kit-125W-200W-300W-/400416360445?pt=UK_Baby_Baby_Feeding_Bottle_Warmers_Coolers_LE&var=&hash=item5d3aacc7fd

Well the more Lumens you can give your Ladies the better, though these Giant CFL are BIG..I was Shocked when I got mine...was about 12" Long n 6" Wide(They are Huge) so if Space and Heat/Air replacement isn't an issue then you could go for the 2, but this will cost you more than a cheap 150-250w Hps setup(depends where in world you live) my first Hps after the Giant CFL was 250w = 21,000 Lumens for Veg and 32,000 for Flowering..I got a Kit with both bulbs, but you would only need the Veg so might be a little bit cheaper.

So many Factors that dictate which way to go is best...but at the End of the Day...It's down to personal choice and the conditions you have to work with.

Peace
