any ideas? 
lmao! well right now i run 4 42W cfls with no trouble at all , my box has an exhaust fan and an intake so there is air circulating.. i think it would be fine.. im gonna have to hunt for one of those adapter thingys with a 90 degree angle cus my box is alot wider than it is depthwise.. it just wouldnt happen with the adapters i got for my other cfls cus they are straight, and my box is like 5 or 6 inches deep in depth and this bulb is 13 inches lol
half a hit? nah... wtf you talkin bout?? why bother commenting if your gonna be a punk ass
im fine with my curret living situation and perfectly fine with getting an ounce every 2 months.. the fuck is your problem? i dont see any of your grow journals with any of your bud and you come in here like your the man, go watch some more chuck norris flicks you friggin weirdo
See my pics dude! Hope it helps..
just came across these cfls which are way stronger than the current ones im using. i have the 42W ones right now and this thing is 150 watts which would be awesome, but the length of this bulb is like 13 inches the ones i have now are like 5 inches and can barely fit
I think you should do some research on PC grows before you start knocking them.. V12's is awsome! ( I only use mine for seedlings, Early Veg and clones but they CAN do the job!)

hell ya thanks man, looks like yours is set up is a bit different than mine, but ya thats what i want, my powerstrip is actually inside the box on the top back wall. looks like you have it coming from the side where my fans would be? does look like it takes up a shitload of space though not sure if im actually gonna do this but i guess its worth a shotSee my pics dude! Hope it helps..

LOL...
Don't FUCK with me and my CFL's! lol
dam bro thats some useful ass shit lol for real.. i already got those on hand i got a bunch of the 26W and a buch of 42W im gonna try to cram more than 4 in my box this time around if possible ( it will be hard lol) i got 2 sprouts right now about a week old under 4 26W as we speak .. good looking out on that info for sure + repJust a little FYI here. But CFL's start to loose their lumen per watt after about the 30W cfl's. So if it's possible for you, I'd go with an abundance of smaller CFL's, (mathamatically the 26W bulbs are the most efficient lumen/watt wise) rather than 1 HUGE CFL that doesn't put out as many lumens as if you we're to use the same amount of watts just with smaller light's. Does what I'm saying make sense?
Here, this may be better.
I looked at the 150W CFL's, and the one that puts out the MOST lumest/watt is the "150 Watt CFL Light Bulb - 650 W Equal - Full Spectrum 5000K - 8U Lamp - Energy Miser 35863 - 9,200 lumens"
So the best lumen/watt for a large, 150W CFL that I found was 9,200lumens/150watts which calculates to about 61.333 lumens per individual watt.
Now I looked at the kind of light's I use which are the "26 Watt CFL Light Bulb - 105 W Equal - Cool White 4100K - T2 Spring Lamp - Energy Miser FE-IISB-26W-41K - 1800 lumens"
So the best lumen/watt for the smaller, 26W CFL that I found was 1800lumens/26watts which calculates to about 69.231 lumens per individual watt.
Ok so let me break this down for you, straight G style! hahaha..
A single, 150W CFL, puts out 9200 lumens total. 61.333 lumens per watt
now let's see 150W/26W=5.796. So it would take about 5.796 of these 26w cfl's to have the same amount of watts being used as the 150w. So let's round that down (just to show you) 5 of the 26watt CFL's, that would be a total of 130watts, and you would be putting out 9000 lumens. So for 20 less watts, you would have only 200 less lumens. (Don't forget I rounded down to 5 instead of 5.796) just to make my point.
If you were to round up instead of down, from 5.796 to 6 which is what logic would tell us to do. That would give you 156watts (Only 6 watts more than the 150w CFL) and 10800 lumens (which is 1600 MORE lumens that the 150W CFL)
So 1600 MORE lumens for only 6 more watts.
Again, just sharing some info. This is what I do instead of using the HUGE CFL's. It's also a LOT cheaper to replace these smaller bulbs for whenever the time comes. Because it's said that CFL's start to lose intensity after about 2 grows.
Hope this helps with your decision dog. And if not, at least I was able to spread the knowledge. PEACE

lol, Hey no problem bro! I'm glad to help! I did all this research and everything before I started growing. And just thought that it may help somebody else out. You know? Save a little money, not have to order online, therefore not have to wait for shipping, and start your grow a little sooner. And most importantly, have a MORE efficient grow room! THAT'S what it's all about!
#1: Crotch Waffle: I have never heard that before..... But I like it! hahahahaha
ya your bad ass, you proved you can grow more outdoors than inside a pc case? you want a cookie or something? i just got an ounce out a pc wheres my cookie littllesister
