I was wondering if i was to get a couple of mogul adapters which allows you to use 125w and 200w cfl's that have a mogul socket in any socket would I be able to use the 125w lights at Home Depot in the flood lights section,really I'm askin would they be any good or should I just get a cfl grow light from the hydro shop or online?:?:

Most of the high wattage light's in the flood light section are replacement bulbs only mean it will only work in a specific socket made for replacement bulbs. I would just go to the hydro shop you had in mind and they will have everything you need or just goto.

Lots of different places to get high watt CFL's for cheap.

I think I'm going to get the 200w MH HID light from my hydro shop that should be enough to veg 4 plants at a time shouldnt it?Thank you DR CHRONIC for taking the time out to help a newbi +rep.:mrgreen:

to answer your question tho you can use the mogul to edison base adapter and fit the 125 watt flouro into a shoplight type hood but its more effective to buy a mogul base screw shell .. (the thing the bulb screws into) and make a batwing reflector.
they put out plenty of light for vegging a few plants.
but as Dr Chron says go with the HID and you will be plenty happy
