If you've done your research, you should know that during the vegetative state, blue spectrum lights otherwise known as 6500k daylight is the best bulb to use. Those who cannot afford expensive fixtures tend to work with CFL bulbs because they are magical in terms of growing living plants with low-cost budget.

I've started out with multiple light bulbs, forcing me to buy multiple light fixtures and sockets as well, adding on to my budget. Loews and home depot sell light fixtures, but your looking at around 6 dollars a piece, and to my knowledge, to grow healthy/worthy plants, you need at least 3 common 25 watter bulbs to a single plant.

I've come across a simple solution to tackle the chaos of wires and avoid spending more than you should, when you can totally invest that money into something more important such as nutrients.

I found a great connection from my friends back in China who sell appealing, large 65w bulbs producing over 4500k lumens. You approx. need only 1 bulb to 3 plants for a good 2/3 of the vegetative grow and you can use it during the whole grow cycle as additional lights as the plants grow bigger.

Here is the link for the bulbs, hope I helped some of you desperately looking for a solution to deciding on which grow lights to go with. These are the top of the top, best of the best when it comes to affordable growing.

If you've done your research, you'd know that 20-26w bulbs are some of the most efficient per watt on the market.
a 23w bulb is at about 1700 lumens.
Light sockets = goodwill desk lamps. Usually only a few dollars a piece, and easier to illuminate every portion of the plant.
