How are you planning to start? From seeds or do you have some clones?

i'll germinate the seeds and the use the fluorex. it puts out 68500 lumens
and the equivalent to 500 watts but only uses 65 watts

Fluorex? Do you have a picture or a website that has it? I've been shopping for powerful floro's but havnt found any that are above 42watts (equivalent to 200w as printed on the box)

But a fluorescant for veg and an HPS for flowering sounds perfect to me

Godzbudz, if you're looking for a decent fluoro in the UK, do a google search for enviro lights (I know they stock them at evergreen hydroponics in Brighton - they have a website), they come in blue & red for vegging & flowering, and I think they come in 125W or 200W - good budget lights if you can't be doing with ballasts & the heat that HPS generate - perfect for stealth closet grows.

You can use the HPS light for vegetative cycle as well as the flower cycle.
Most local growers i know in my area use just the HPS for both cycles.
A couple use the 430 watt HPS (30% more blue light then a plain HPS)
