I found a thread a few weeks back, but cant seem to find it now. I have my setup of lights, but need just a side extra. Which are best to get from menards or home depot or even walmart. I am not looking for THE BEST lights, just the best ones from one of those stores. I need them for my veggy room.
Thanks

get the highest actual wattage bulbs you can get. I use 6500k for veg and 2700 k for flowering.

I use three 42 watt cfl's and thats for two small plants. Get a series of them if you have more in mind.

Look into getting some T5 lights. I know Lowes sells them, so Home Depot probably does too. The prices vary, but you can get 2 ft. long T5 lights that comes with 2 bulbs for around 20 to 30.
