Hey im just tryin to find the perfect light for growing up to 3 or 4 plants at one time so i dont have to grow 3 times a year.Right now i have only cfl's since im kinda on a money budget here but the cfl's kinda lower the yield of my plants so i was wondering wat the best light would be to grow 3 or 4 plants at one time n have excellent or even good yield without costing me a fortune.Thanks everyone
Define a fortune?
You can grow very nice plants using CFLs alone, just takes a lot of patience, moving the bulbs constantly so they are close to the plant. CFL's don't get as good a penetration as an HID lamp, so the buds don't tend to get as dense below the top.
get a 250 m.h,hps combie so you only change the bulb when flowering:jointsmile:
So could i grow 3 or 4 plants with a 250 watt hps light?
sure you can...you are doing it with cfl's now. but to grow three or four plants go with the old reliable 400wt mh
yes you can i do:D
Thanks that helps alot all i need to do now is find a place to get a light where it aint gonna cost me a whole lot of money
inside sun hydro harry's or your local hydro shop.
dont burn your house down. get a smoke detector and fire extenguisher just for your grow.
What is hps lights and stuff more prone to starting on fire or something becuase im not home half the time and when i am home im sleeping so is an hps light a bad thing to have or?
if you do not have plenty of free time to sit at home...stick with the cfl's or pay someone trustworthy to set your grow up.
