Flouro's can give you pretty decent results, but they have to be verrrryyyy close(like inches) and you have to have alot of them.

A 250 watt MH would do just fine, but if you have a choice i would get a High Pressure Sodium light. The bulbs last longer, run cooler, give you more lumen output than MH, and gives you a better spectrum of light for flowering. Either way, when you put your plants under a HID light and your notice a huuuuugggeeee increase in growth. Go for the 250 watt and youll thank me later.



I veg my plants with T5 high output flourescents. My fixture is made for growing plants. You can have great results, Theyre different than your normal shoplights or garage lights. T5's are smaller and put off alot more light than the bigger t12 or t8 flourescent lights.
