Cool dude.



Because I'm thinking about growing (I've always wanted to) with just CFL's, maybe the tube kind if I have a lot of plants growing together. But, at the flowering stage, I'm going to switch over to a combination of CFL's and incandescent bulbs, because I know flowering plants like a lot of radiate heat.

Tell me what you be doing. Can't wait to see the photos.

use incandescent bulbs would be a fruitless endeavor for sure.

Shit, I just got back from the store with a crap load of these, I thought you could use them.

First, flowering plants do NOT like a lot of radiant heat. simply not true. incandescent bulbs are very very poor for growing cannabis, I would stay away from them at all costs.

Sorry to say you've got some learnin to do.  I suggest reading jorge cervantez's book, Marijauna Horticulture.  Then spend as much of your free time reading on the internet.  It's hard to know when cultivating pot and reading about it on message boards who is really knowledgeable about the process and who isn't.  A lot of people will bullshit you on the other sites if you let em.  so having a basic understanding of the cultivation process can really be helpful in that regard. 

By HIP i think you mean HID - high intensity discharge.  That's a type of lighting system.  Under that catagory are HPS and MH bulbs.  HPS is used for flowering and yes, it is in the red spectrum and the MH is used in veg and is in the blue spectrum.  Also, 30 watts isn't considered a high wattage in this game.

for only a 65W bulb you will never find a bulb with an external ballast.
