I was thinking i'd squeeze 10-15 plants into the grow room/closet...might get away with a 250w hps but it might be too hot, the space is kinda small which is why i thought cfls. So CFL's not practical for autos then??? What about 2 cfls..one blue one red spec on simultaneously?? Would that cause it to veg and flower or would it mess up the flowering cycle? thanks sorry if my questions seem stupid
joe86el Reviewed by joe86el on . Lighting types for autoflowering?? Planning on doing a CFL grow with a lowryder cross, just wondering what the best (cheap, efficient) lighting would be. I know the CFL growlights are blue or red spec but when the plant flowers and veg's simultaneously what is the best bulb to use? I was thinking of having 1 of each if $$ lets me but anyway it has to be a cfl grow because of temps, any help much appreciated:thumbsup: Rating: 5
