yea. i know how you feel about the lighting. i currently have a 400 watt system and just ordered a 250 hps system. the 400 watt was not that bad in my room (temp around 80) but that was during winter haha. since its summer i figure that i would have to downgrade unless i wanted to buy an a/c. and really dont want to do that because its pricy and kills the electric bill. im currently using cfl for vegging and will use the 250 hps for budding which will be in about 2 weeks. using LST method and it is working out great. i started off with 4 plants and one turned out male so im down to 3. im hoping for 2 females. next time i will def. go with clones or feminized seeds. check out my grow log in this same section titled "First Indoor Grow":rastasmoke: i was going to post some pics tonight but i forgot to grab my platform will do tomorrow around 11ish. later!
