Thanks dude

setting sun - I ended up getting that reflector together today. I made it from 2 pieces of some kind of boxy ducting and some aluminum tape. It looks similar to manufactured ones I've seen. the whole thing set me back $25.

I just got this light a week ago. It's 250 watt compact fluorescent, and has a mogul base. supposedly it's equivalent to a 1250 watt incandescent bulb. it's 2700k (yellow redish light for budding). I got it from a canadian seller on ebay for about $75 us- including shipping. and i got the mogul...

Is the scrog method strictly for hydro setups? also that looks pretty involved

cool. It is a 250 watt (not that 250watt equivalent business) but how beneficial is the REFLECTOR?
