CFL's Keepin it low

Dannysayo · Apr 7, 2013

Total cost:
4 250 Watt bulbs, $10 a bulb
1 or 2 cake pans, about $2-3 a pan. Under $50 bucks. Shit just w/ that u could produce more then 7g of fye bud and profit. That's just a small example

Bang for the Buck... With $30 of CFL's and a power strip you can get same results on 4 plants as you would with 400 watt HID which is roughly $160-250 respectively. Power cost is also much lower with the CFL, A 400 watt HID runs between 8-10 amps meaning its actually consuming more like 800-1000 watts to run the ballast and bulb

unreal....

All of you CFL lovers go invest 200 bucks in a decent HID ballast with cooltube and then come back after 2 grows and update this thread.

Yea cfls are actually becoming more common to use. They have 250watt energy saving bulbs out. Those babies penetrat. I can run 4 250watters on 2 2in1 adapters and its bright as fuck. If u want to be simple n cheap. Buy a nice size cake pan, few small configurations, and u got a Hood.

I Have 4 of the 300 watt CFLs and they pen better than my 400 watt HID by HTG... I'm using both now

Note I run both HID and CFL and money spent to light output the CFL's are a better purchase if going to choose one or the other both cost to purchase and run. I understand newer digital ballasts run around 4 amps but that is still = to 10 of my 300 watt CFLs

I'm sorry when some close minded ass comes in the room with no respect for others I have a little trouble showing that person any respect. It's been 5 years since my last infraction if you want to scold me for saying a bad word have at it. People that post like that should be put in a pile of slow churning manure. Good day!
