are you planning on moving into a bigger grow room later? cause you could get same results with a 400watt. you would save $ in electric too. also i wouldnt plant right away in a 3 gallon. when i see people do that they get root issues and always come on the boards wondering why there plants are fucked up. big pots will cause a non-aired muck on the bottom and when tiny roots are in it and cant drink the water fast enough, they rot a little and will cause the soil to go acidic. thats when people start thinking buffers run out of there soil! shit ive had mothers in foxfarm for about a year and still doing great
