Help a girl out??? First grow lighting and stealth???
I have too many plants so I'm moving two inside to start flowering and will use the LED's for that.
She didn't seem to be too worried about initial cost and over the long run LED's are probably cheaper when you factor replacement cost, electricity, convenience, dealing with the heat etc. the flourescent lights can be placed lower so light penetration isn't a real issue. 8 shop lights and a couple LED lights should be plenty for two plants. I had six plants and two negative ion generators in one room and there was virtually no smell.
FWIW I had a friend grow great bud in his closet with nothing more then a phototron which is nothing more then a glass box with four flourescent lights. We made our own out of a moving box covered in foil and 8 round 22W flourescents and grew some good bud in that as well. Heat was never an issue and these were grown in a small bedroom closet, the buds matured perfectly well under only flourescent lights so I'm not sure where people get the idea you can't finish under flourescents because I've seen it with my own two eyes. Sure there are better options now but this was 15 years ago and it worked.
My advice if budget is not a real issue is to get two 90-120W LED's and keep the 6-8 shop lights for additional side lighting a small fan, at least one ionic breeze and let her rip.
