Other wise using flos will prolly be your best bet for cheap flowering. Make sure its the red/orange/yellow side the spectrum, as this is the best for flowering.


here is a link to an example. Use the warm one listed for flowering.

3' x 2 1/2 ' closet....We have 10 plants in a bubbler sys. Going for the sea of green approach.Marmarkus2006 has posted pics and listed the specs.I bought a 70 w HPS outdoor security light that he rigged in there and we just bought 4 more flors soft light that are warm,plus we have 4 cool light flors. All in one.There's a total of about 6000 lumens in there now and will be pulling the plants that turned out male.So far one for sure and then there are 2-3 more that just didn't grow very big for whatever reason.So that will leave 6-7 plants total.We have 2-3 confirmed females.We are a few weeks into flowering now.Not really hoping for a whole lot off the plants,don't want to be disappointed.lol
Considering this is the first time for either of us for growing cannabis and doing hydro...I think they look pretty good.Nice and lush,very skunky smell. And it was just bag seeds.We weren't even sure in the beginning if they would sprout,but we had 17 out of 20. We kept the best 10 for this system.We have 4 nigerians in an ebb n flow sys coming behind these ones.Only 4 out of the 10 seeds came up,but they look pretty good so far.Anyway,I found the 70 w HPS at Lowes for 52. bucks and I just don't have the money to sink as I would like.
DarkHairedSativa Reviewed by DarkHairedSativa on . What's the best CHEAPEST lighting for flowering?? I don't have alot of money left to put into my system and they're going into flowering stage very soon...I don't have 200 dollars to spend per HPS light is there a cheaper way? Or does anyone know where i can pick up a cheap HPS? Considering the places i've called here are contractor only...:wtf: I'd appreciate your input considering this is the first grow 'round for us:thumbsup:Thanks in advance!! Love, Tiva Rating: 5
