Hey guys, I know this has been discussed as I've read a bunch of threads over the last couple weeks but I thought I'd throw this out here as it's not just what kind that I'd like to check out but also where to get them.
So right now i'm leaning towards flourescents as the cost is a semi-factor, I don't want a huge electric bill but most importantly because it seems atleast for the veg period they are the easiest for TOTAL newbs like myself and due to their low heat emissions I don't really have to worry about vents/fans etc while i'm still totally small small small time. I have a couple top notch starters from a super close friend of mine, one is White Rhino and the other is Chocolope (hope I spelled that right) I am currently using a bandaid of 32watt cool white flourescents but I wanted to pick up the replacements today. Where is the best place to get something today as far as quality and cost? I was thinking home depot, getting one of their high output flourescent setups that was something like 110 watt per bulb (I believe this is one of the energy saver that compares to 110 watt using much less, but I'm not totally sure...) and produces 8800 lumens. They are cool white and I believe 4100k. Does anyone have any suggestions as to the best place to shop i.e. H.D, Lowes or wherever? Is 4100k correct or should I be getting the 6200k? I am pretty sure cool white's are the way to go. Can anyone get me links to the actual fixture and bulbs they'd reccomend online from one of these stores that i'd be able to find locally and pick up local, worst case have them order for me to pick up? Any help would be appreciated!!! THNX yall an happy smokin.![Joint :joint: :joint:](/styles/smilies/joint.gif)
Editing now to add a pic of the lil guys... LOL I know i'm a total newb, but these little guys have been through a lot including a 1.5k mile drive accidently knocked over, plus the shock of going from 90k lumens to currently around 5k on my little band-aid setup
I am doing my best so please don't clown lol I'm quite sensitive...
