I veg with CFL's and folwer with hps. Although start of this run I did use an MH bulb for about the first 2 weeks of 12/12. Plants look nice and green though. I top mine early and do it a couple times in the time they veg. I seem to get nice bushy plants that way. Good luck with the grow.
So, do you think it would be worth it for me to just go and order that 150w HPS light for 85 bucks instead of buying 4-5 65w CFLs for 15 ea? That's my main decision struggle, lol. (I'm moderately poor)

also, going to start the bat guano + molasses today or tomorrow. Gotta find the best recipe though. Thanks for the tips, I love 'em
