LiHo, so I am going to buy a few lightbulbs, but I was wondering inf any lightbulb that has 6500 k would work, or if I have to care about something elseblike lumens and watts.

Thanks

as long as its a 6500k its good then you decide on the watt and lumens remember the lower either of these are the closer you will have to put them to the plants just be careful not to have them to close that they burn your plants

Those CPL ones are good and come in different sizes and prices to suit your pocket

Do a Google on CPL 6500k Bulbs and see what you come up with

I found one fluorescent of 26 watts (substitute of the 100 watts) and its 1600 lumens

What are you are you growing under the lights ?

That 26w 1600 lumens is very weak

What kind of fixture can handle a 105w CFL like that? I was looking for a gooseneck desk lamp so I can focus the reflector exactly where I want it, but I could not find one that would accept, via the warning label, a CFL more than 15w which is pretty low for plants.

What sort of lamp do people use for these 105w CFLs?

Well, i think i can fina a 32 watts, substitute of the 150 watts with 2150 lumenes, but ive only seen it with 2700 k

Oh, and I am tissue culturing.

HTGSUPPLY.COM has awesome inexpensive florescent fixtures and bulbs. That's where I am going to buy mine in a couple weeks.
