Will the energy saving bulbs be any good and will my other light be any good for the last part of the plants growth? (for a budget grow room)
Howdy bigjon,

All of the lights that you mention,are good for vegging,but not so good for flowering. That mother plant kit looks pretty interesting,but it's intended for maintaing veg growth indoors,and not for the flowering stage. You need to git at least a 250-300 watt hps light for good buds.

Have a good one...Torog
