new grower with a question

[CanGroIt]

thanks for your replies, and dont wry pushit i know ur only trying to help
i talked with the store that sold me the equipment they said they can change my lamp+the power supply thingy for 2 250w hps, one for vege grow and one for flowering
i hope the 250w is a better solution
what u guys think?

I wouldn't trade a 400w for a 250w.... Are they going to give you 2 - 250w lamps that you can run at the same time or just 1 - 250w lamp with 2 bulbs, 1bulb for veg and 1bulb for flower???

You are waaaaaaaaaaay better off going the CFL route and sticking with the 400w for flower IMO....

Double fixtures are inexpensive and so are CFL bulbs....well worth the small investment. No, the CFL's will not slow growth, if anything they help because of their low heat transfer and ability to get plants to practically touch the bulb before over stressing....
