I would like to thank Stinky Attic for the most direct answer to a question I have ever seen, she has great teaching skills. Skills often overlooked by society. I would like to thank the people who took this thread in other directions as it answered other questions I was going to have in the future in regards to when to use Flouros and when to use HID. I am still trying to make up my mind on what to use on a mother plant. In the near future I am going to be cloning for the first time in my life. I was wondering what the best Lighting system to use on a mother plant. Small HID over head and Flouros on the sides to encourage Lower Branches? This will be a learning experience and I had better breed me some seeds for when I screw up (which is inevitable).
