not necessarily true there hot shot...no need for the cocky approach..personally i think his setup is pretty legit and far past a waste of money....i dont know about the rest of you., but ive never once came across a 130 watt cfl...... its not always about whats best, but what is obtainable....besides,, i would rather have a little row of cfls covering a good portion of space rather than one cfl covering one third of it...
true, coverage was my goal. For veg you dont need a ton of light.....this gets the job done.

no man they are in the back and super cheap, they are with all the lights on display, just find a 4 fixture vanity...they had a cheaper one but it looked too cheap!
While at Home Depot on my recent visit I had to check for this fixture. Sure enough, they had them, only thing is that the 3 bulb fixture was $10 and the 4 bulb was $14. Still no a bad deal in my opinion.:leaf::leaf::finger:

Home depot HAS TO charge more then that! I was there the other day checking it out 1 26w 6500k bulb is like $15.... Also that light figure was only $10!! I'm guessing it was found in the lighting section?

this light successfully covers a 4x4 area up to 1ft plants, last week of veg i mix in a few 2700k bulbs....

you can see the plants if worked on, i just put them in flower 5 days ago and moved in the LED lights but it worked perfect in this 5x5 tent with 13 plants in 1 gallon pots...
