If you don't already have a PH meter, you will need one. PPM meter is nice too but you need to keep up with PH daily.

Your plants look happy. That's good. I don't want to bust on CFL's they are good for veg time.

However the bigger the lights the bigger the buds. Have fun and see what works for you.

If you could see the dif in lights you would go straight to the 1000HPS for flowering and trichome production. If you like do a search for loc nar and you will see some of my grows. even the one they busted me with.
LOC NAR on probation Reviewed by LOC NAR on probation on . Newbie Hydroponic/CFL system I am a 25yr old medical patient who is going to start a smallish grow room, approximatly 10sq feet total. This is my first attempt. I am going to start with 2 plants first, and see how it goes. I am going to use (2) Power grower ECO sytems from Hydro farm to grow in. I plan on using (2) 125watt 6500k CF bulbs in hydrofarm reflectors, then switch to (2) 125watt 2700k CF bulbs when budding starts. from what i've seen on other posts, this should be sufficient for a decent yield on a first grow Rating: 5
