The UK Growers Thread!

im vegetarian..............................so what reflectors has everyone got and used in the past...........i got a diamond and had a euro, not sure it spreads enough light across my cab.

I was using one of them shitty cooltubes with the built in reflector, didn't spread the light well at all so today I took out the mylar from it (so it's just a glass tube) and put the euro reflector on top, took a bit of cutting here and there but got er done eventuall. Hopefully that should give a nice even spread of light. I think the best ones are those aircooled hoods that are rectangle shape. Think its the magnum xxxl or something. Nas used one in his grow and I'm sure a few others in here use em.

I think places like B&Q would only stock like 11W CFLs but you might find something bigger in a specialist light shop, why not just order it off the internet? It's probably safer than going to a shop, haha.

Can you not pay your cash into your bank and spend it that way lol?

 

[Ontheball]

lol if i paid into my bank theyd have a heart attack and all id be doing is repaying them ! so thats floors me. atm im trying hard not to spend my cfl cash on bud but hell im clucking

 

[MalteseGrower]

Ontheball you could find a growshop and pay cash. may take a long trip but at least you can pay cash. Otherwise go to tesco's and get a bunch of 20w spiral cfls at 20p each I got 15 (so 300w) and i have them set up round my plants getting the max lumens for my wattage due to the low penetration of cfls. It's a cheaper and more efficient way to grow than one big 300w. Plus less traveling and if one light goes when you are not there then no biggie. Just makes more sense to me. I could go on forever about why you should never waste money on a big cfl.

 

[supersillybilly]

Pay it into the guy business account. all u need is sort code acc number and when its in he will send it to you
