• Energy Star qualified

plz let me know i need help with this wanna get the big one for vegging and the small one for flowering but i dint dont know the color specrum, besides it saying soft white is that blue or red?

Yeah man your going to need a few of them, But if you save up idk $125. You can get a hps that will work wonders around cfls.

those are some good cfl's your right on blue look for kelvins and lumens. but, i would make whatever your ordering double that.

The blue spectrum you're looking for is the 6500Kelvins that you have there.

Soft white is red.

He's got the right idea bro.

and you can actually get the Sunsystems 150watt S55 HPS light kit that comes with the HPS bulb as well.. for under a bill $100.00

It's what I did, but I bought two of them.. but one the left side needs a new bulb.. so I'm really only running 150 instead of 300 watts right now.

But just one of these HPS lamps.. just one 150watt is pretty fucking bright.


Plus, by the time you could equal the amount of lumens using CFL bulbs.. you need more than it would be worth. Energy wise.. what I'm saying is, is that I can run my one 150Watt HPS.. and pay less per month than you would be paying.. using a huge amount of individual bulbs.

Hope this helped.

Good luck man.

i also switched to a 150hps for flowering and i am LOVING it. but i still do use cfl for vegging

Your going to need more then just 1 cfl man. I just bought some of these for veg:
