I've read a lot of lighting for plants articles but i still wonder that what is really it for my plants w/ affordable price.

I wanna ask that which one is better.

4 of 30w Grow-Lux flo(app. $60) vs 1 of 5k 150w MH(app $115).
4 of 30w Grow-Lux vs 4 of 36w cool white flo+ 4 of 36w warm white flo(app. $50 im not sure for the price but it's sure cheaper than grow-lux for sure).

4 of 30w Grow-Lux flo vs 4 of 36w 12k flo(im not sure for the price but i think it's the same price as grow lux).

2 of grow-lux flo + 2 of warm + 2 of cool flo vs 1 of 5k 150w MH. what about this one?

I know that blue spectrum is about 5.7k can 2.6 k for red, so if i buy those 5-6k or 2-3k light, will they work?

Also, the HPS light is the best for flowering state. What light can i use to instead of HPS? and how many of them?

i know that these light sets are for veg state but i heard that Grow-lux can be used in all states, is that true?

Also, now i have only one plant which is fully grow on veg state(2 months old) (but it looks weak so i decided to continue 18/6 light cycle for a month(may be). If this plant give me a good yield i may plan for more plants

By the way, the price here based in my country which may a bit lower than other countries

What is your opinion for this????:rastasmoke::rastasmoke:

come by my imaginary garden and read the part of the discussion on lights,
i think many of your questions will be answered.

if not, i'll try to answer them myself and i'm sure we have others as well with
help to offer, i'm no lighting expert, just a guy that uses CFL's.

i've never known that Murcury Vapor light can be used, too (i've just seen it in the light shop just a moment b4 i posted. Is it work well?
i see that u use only CFL and it look good on ur plants but will it work on plant that grow on soil?

if it works well in might put more of them. It's just the can-find-in-any-hardware-shop CFL right? coz the grow-lux one u have to go to fish tank shop kina thing.

no, the Mercury Vapor lighs suck, don't use them.

lol, yeah man, light is light, it doesn't care whether you grow in dirt or hydro


if it works well in might put more of them. It's just the can-find-in-any-hardware-shop CFL right? coz the grow-lux one u have to go to fish tank shop kina thing.

and yeah, just ordinary CFL's, you should read the thread, the discussion is
pretty detailed so i'm sure you'll learn a lot.

check out my cloner thread too, you might see something there you can use

you're welcome man, i'm glad to help you the way others helped me

as to the co2, i think you'd be better off learning how to grow first, by
the time you have harvested a time or 2, you will know enough to know
whether co2 enrichment is for you.
