flowering with fluorescents is uphill all the way...you HAVE to SCROG...or go HID...period.

High Output T-5's or PL-L's are the best fluoros...IMO....nothing beats a HID 400 watt...except, a HID 600 watt....but, the fluoro TUBES are much cooler. Usually, not a problem with winter coming on....in cold climates...sometimes you need that extra HID heat?...I do.

CFL's are the worse choice....IMO
Dutch Pimp Reviewed by Dutch Pimp on . Low Heat Lighting. I am trying to find a low heat lighting with similar results as a 250-400w HID. It seems I will have to choose between LED and induction lighting. I am not sure LED will be the way to go, but this one induction light seems like it might be good; 200 Watt Induction Grow Light - NewAge Lights that light is a 200w for $359, and they claim it compares to a 600-800w hid, so i think it should have me covered. They also have some decent looking LED lights too. Is this a reliable place to Rating: 5
