If you can afford it the 400 watt hps is the way to go, floro's work for seedlings/clones/mothers/ and growth, but not so well for flowering. A 400 watt hps will give you enough light for 9-10 plants. Later you could always buy the 400 watt mh [ i use this exact same set up 1-400 hps and 1-400 mh] you could then double the size of the grow and number of plants. switch the lights every few days so all the plants get both types of light,
giving you a nice sized 3x6 growing area.

heartsurgerysurviver Reviewed by heartsurgerysurviver on . Hps or Fluros, that is the question! Hey, its total again with another question. I looked on 1000bulbs.com and i saw that some hps lights wherent that costly( 400 watters) and i figured i might as well buy 1 400 watt HPS for 2 plants instead of a couple of red CFL spectrums? it would save me the space, the money, and the sockets if i just put one HPS in there... what is better for vege growth? Hps or fluoros? and is 400 watt HPS light enough for 2 flowering plants? ( like 11"-12") Thx, cheers Total Rating: 5
