Mephisto Genetics Fantasmo Express under CFL's

[HubbaBubba]

32 watt cfl it says it puts out the same power as 150 watt incandescent bulb. I'm only going to be using them as supplemental light in the corners of the tent. I hope they are worth the effort.

I think they say they put out the same visible light (lumens) as a 150 watt incandescent. Incandescents have a nice spectrum, but nobody uses them for growing because they are not efficient. Incandesents give a lot of heat and a little light, the comparison makes CFL's look good.

Your Fantasmo looks like one of mine, heat stressed.
Consider taking out the mirror so she gets more air flow, or moving the CFL a bit farther away.

Thanks Bubba, i was reading the thread about reflective materials, .... and i move now to withe reflection
I just feed her some Roots Gruindag, Potasium 4% and Fosforo 4% at 1/4 of strength dilu. in 2 Lts of water. Hope i didnt make a mistake doing it .....
The light its now 8/10 cm away .... i read so much about to get as close as you can the CFL's .... i guess when she is so young you need to be careful about it ..... Lesson learn, she is looking better now
