I was in lowes the other day and ran across a new set of flourescents lighting. These lights only use a lower wattage lets say 34 and produce an equivalents amount of lumens to lets say a 200 watter. Does any here with experience think that these are worth it?
No they're not worth it. You can get CFL's that are "actual wattage" of 100 watts or more they are good for vegging. I do all my veg with the CFL's but have never tried to flower with them. They're fairly easy on the electric bill as well.
