Also if you want any of my specs on soil and watering and stuff just ask, i didn't feel like posting it.
You are working your way through lighting issues. Valid questions. I would remind people that you too were a n00b at some point.

250w will get you somewhere but if it were me, I'd hold off a bit until I could afford a 400w MH or HPS. You can veg with an HPS or flower with an MH btw.

I'm always interested in what people are doing with their soil and nutes so I'll give it a read if you feel like posting it up.
bigsby Reviewed by bigsby on . Lighting We all know Fluro's are good for Germinating and Vegetative states. I'm currently Using two 20W T12 Lamps (Wide Spectrum) Fluro's, in a Garage Shelving unit with the measurements 69 3/8th's inches in Height x 25 5/8th's inches Width x 18 7/8th's inches in Depth. I have Four LowRyder2 plants, all 4 cracked and were planted yesterday, i know the Fluro's won't do the best job but i'm on a tight budget, My question is how many watts would i need in a metal Halide lamp to flower all 4 plants Rating: 5
