As a matter of fact get 4 or 6 or 8. I am not in favor of anything but HID lighting but you can get weed from using flouros. Just keep them as close as possible to the plants, like a couple if inches, without harming the plants. That, and cost is the main advantage of flouros. Use as many as possible!Quote:
