yes thats a "soon to be" preflower the lights would work great look like the have a mogul base but im still a lil buzed how many light u plan on using...

I was thinking of ordering 3 like that. What's a mogul base?

a mogul base refers to the "screwin part"of the bulb; theres standard and mongul, which is much larger. how many lights are you running now? ill do some reasearch on a worth-while setup for cfl give me an hour

Right now I've got like 3x25w, one pointing at each plant and then some other 15w not pointing at the plant.

ok dollar for dollar hps is the way to go. now i know i said to wait. but for an 18.5" x 26" x 38" box. a 250 watt hps would work great but heat would be a m/f. so i as thinking a 150 hps and you can do this cheap....HPS Ballasts - CFL Ballasts - Fulham Ballasts - 1000Bulbs.com how to wire How to wire your own Marijuana Grow lights &Save Money & Wiring 2 Rooms With 1 Ballast, bulb>>>150 watt HID High Pressure Sodium Bulbs: 1000Bulbs.com Mogul Base HID Socket Light Bulb total cost about $65 us.....most growers get 1 gram per watt...(hid) 150 watts = 5.2911 oz's now thats in a perfect world....but if u get half that ???

That sounds fucking awesome. What about something like this 250 watts HPS ballast kit from HTG? It should come to around the same price but 1000bulbs is a bitch for shipping to canada.

that would great but!!! heat will be an issuse. your going to need a lot of air movement (intake/exhast) but if you want to try it IT CAN BE DONE. so before you arm you grow box for war, have a plan. if your serious about this let me know. ill research some items that will help u

Oh, I get it. I'll stick to the 150 for now then, I think I'll go with what you recommended. Wiring isn't too hard is it?
Would this be an option? Would wiring be harder?

all that is is a replacement ballast. not a ballast kit wont work.>>>Universal Lighting Technologies: REPLACEMENT HPS BALLAST KIT 150 WATT [902120] - Ballasts, Capacitors & Parts - Grow Lighting Systems, Fixtures, Movers, Ballasts, Sockets, Reflectors & Components - Katalog - HorticultureSource.com

Alright I think I'll go with the 1000bulbs setup (comes to 75 bucks with shipping)

hell yeah! its on what kinda vents u running??

hey u still have the white spots??c/c Iron - Fe is unavailable to plants when the pH of the water or soil is too high. If deficient, lower the pH to about 6.5 (for rockwool, about 5.7), and check that you're not adding too much P, which can lock up Fe. Use iron that's chelated for maximum availability. Read your fertilizer's ingredients - chelated iron might read something like "iron EDTA". To much Fe without adding enough P can cause a P-deficiency.
