I also know someone who is selling a MH light with the ficture and shield thing too for 80...not sure what i should do. Im going to get some pics up of how their doing. I bought two 6500k tube flouresents since I had 4100k in their. So now I have all 6500k light on tops and sides. The tubes are 40w a piece which isnt alot but I have them just for side lights. Would having actual 43 watt cfl make a difference so I wouldnt have to have so many bulbs? .I think Im only going to have 3 plants so I can use less lights. How tall to I have to let my plants get to get a decent yield? I dont want them to get huge but I have space for 4 ft. I know a lot of questions but I just want to understand everything.
Ha thanx
As far as getting a decent yield look into Low Stress Training(LST) Basically you just stretch each individual branch out so the secondary branches can get light and grow up.

Another way is to use a Screen of Green or ScOG. ScOG is usually used in addition to LST but basically you place some kind of screen over your plants, about 6 in, and you fill each square of the screen with a bud site. LST you want to start when there pretty young but you'll need to wait til you get your plant stretched out to use ScOG, around the time you start to flower.

Another thing you can do is Fiming. With this technique you cut the top of the flower where its growing new leafs and instead of having one main flower or bud site you get 3-8 main bud sites. This Blog has a good diagram of what is happening.
