sorry about the stealing part- (now edited to read 'conceal') it was part of an inside joke about a guy I read about who went to the ER because a light bulb got stuck somewhere in his body.....He said he put it there because he was trying to steal it and ducked into the bathroom to conceal it.
and a HID is a big bulb....it was funnier when I was smoking.
Anyway, CFL's more $$ than HID? the way I worked it out, I can pick up CFL watts for less than HID watts, I just don't get the penetration. What gives? I mean, by the time I get the ballast (dual, cos I'd like to switch between HPS and Metal Halide) or just get a bunch of $1.50 holders for cfls and a bunch of bulbs, it seems I would save a bit right now, and money is totally tight at the moment..... so, ? is HID cheaper? What am I adding wrong?
And high times just got me thinking about pvc again, I didn't know they stole the article....that's messed up! What are they doing, just printing from grow journals? Does anyone even DO reporting anymore?
Thanks for the suggestions on the nutrients- I found out there is a store almost close to me that stocks them, so I can look at 'em before I gotta buy 'em.
