Hey guys i was wondering if i wanted to grow with 2 200w cfl bulbs do i need any kind of ballast with them Please responde or help me out from in experienced grower thnks much appricciated
i wouldnt recommend that.. starting in 5gallons.... they stretch the roots too much.. cuz they have so much space to move in... its good to get rootbound in smaller pots.. then move on to bigger.... usually start in 3gallon maximum.
really nice plants man, those lights would do a lot more if you had some sort of reflector for all of them instead of them just hangin above. if you think bout it light comes off a cfl in all angels so reflect the light that isnt hitting the plant so it does. you pay for all the light that comes off the bulbs, you might as well use it all. more light=more bud.
