I have a box right now with a light T5 sunsystem 2ft 4 bulb fixture. Its working well for growing right now and the guy told me as long as I have mixed bulbs 2 red and 2 blue I should be fine for flowering as well. but I want to start another box and wanted to use Home Depot as my light source instead of 280 CAD for another T5 light.

I like the Fluros cuz the Heat factor so I wanted to use them will they be as effective as my Light from the plant store? Or should I look into getting a 150W Hps which i saw at home depot to mix with the CFLs

one more question I can use Cfls for both cycles Warm lights for flowering 2700K and Colder lights for growing? 6500K or should I keep a mix of them through both cycles? The Hps bulb is tempting and Im pretty sure It fits into a reqular socket 125V 660W As I have herd Hps is better for bigger buds. but if its going to mean more hassle from heat than I dont want to bother.

any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks
