300 watt CFL's from Home Depot

Best place to learn about CFL's, it pretty much covers it all. Kelvins are the spectrum of light, not it strength.

That the next kind of information i was looking for. thanks alot.

I obviously don't have enough information to argue my opinion or make a valid point, so I'm gonna go to home depot and check out the package, cause I dont think you guys are talking about the same light I saw. I'm sure the one i saw had a plastic container... i think... Ill be back with more info.

OKay... So i have "3" of these 300 wt CFLs DIRECTLY from Home Depot.. I started 2 girls on 150wt equiv.CFL and moved them to 2 300WT(HOMEDEPOT) CFLs.. They fucking LOVE IT! My main baby has TONS of bud spots.. Its in its 2nd week of flower. I forced 12/12 flower on them and in like 3-5 days showed pistles and now all flowers. They do very well on these CFLs. I have 9 clones under 1 of these 300wt CFLs.. I know a 400wt HPS would be so much better for flower, thus why im buying it this week. BUT! These lights are GOOD! PERFECT almost. Their HUGE fucking bulbs and they do the job, buy like 2 for each plant bro, and I would BET that you would be plenty satisfied! Let ME know how this turns out! ***personal experience

Green and white case, Light is enclosed by a plastic case? the case is put in box at an angle lol i know what ur talking about. Their great lights man! message me

Alright so someone knows what im saying...I know, when i saw them I was like damn! It just seemed to good to be true. Are they really $15 or was I looking at the wrong spot? Cause on the home depot web site, the only ones I could find were $95!

Thank you so much. If you could post pics thatd be awesome otherwise ill take you word for it (im still gonna buy them if theyre not too expensive)

Whay are the 200 w CFL light setups sold at hydro shops $150. Are the lights stronger?

Call Home Depot before you go to make sure they have them in stock and while you have them on the phone ask them where they are located inside the store. I did that and I'm glad I did or I would not have found them. I went yesterday and picked up 3 of those 300w bulbs.

Yes, they are $14.70 each! They were $10 cheaper then at Lighting Supply in Ferndale, MI. $10!! My plants love them and now I've added a couple more and now I have a backup.

Right on ganja. Keep me posted on how your girls turn out. You dont still have the boxes by chance do you? If so could you post the lumens and kelvin of that light?

Those lights are different spectrum and yeah I think their quite a bit stronger but their expensive and you also have to buy a ballast and socket 4 it 2.. The ones at HD work fine. Check my prof and all those pix are w/the 300wtters. I cut alot of my big fan leaves tho to make more light get in deeper. But if your looking jus for Veg they work GREAT im in flower w/them now and their doing very well but i found a 4oowt HPS w/a ballast online for 99$ so Im gunna snag that and have all of my lights in one box.
