what do you think? :thumbsup:
Now you're talking

Just to add to the misery, you'd be better off getting 5 x 26w CFL's than just one 125w. The reason is because the light from a CFL is pretty weak, and needs to be close to the plant to have an effect. With several lights you can position them around the plant to get maximum penetration. With just one light, the top of the plant will grow well but the bottom won't.

I'd really look into a 250w HPS, you'll be glad you did. CFL's are OK, but plants grow very slowly under them compared to an HPS. Might be able to find some good deals on craigslist, ebay or even local auctions and thrift stores.

And don't just buy something on impulse. Research it. See if anyone else has grown with it. If not, it probably won't grow anything for you. HPS (250w and up) is tried and tested many times. So are CFLs, but only in the right quantity.
