ok are u talking about the hps lights an if so i hurd that those light cost alot an produce alot of heat which maked it hard to keep an maintain the same temp an enivorment. wat kind of light system are u runnin on that grow in that pic cause those are so sexy ladies....looks like u have a high yeild an thats awsome

If you are worried about heat florescent lights will work just fine. Yield may not be what it would be under a HPS. They are also easier on the electric bill. I use a pair of T5 four bulb 2' fixtures with 6500K bulbs for vegging with excellent results. I just ordered 8 3000k lights for summer time flowering. The HPS light is way too hot for summer time where I live - in winter it helps heat the house. If my experiment goes well I may just use the T5's year round and save a few bucks on the electric bill. If I get some time tomorrow I'll post a few pics of some young plants I have under one of the T5 veg lights. At four weeks since cloning they are very bushy and about 1' high - and of course very beautiful. They show no signs of 'reaching' for light - the T5 lights supply all the light they need.

At any rate any light system is going to be a large part of your cash layout to grow good bud. Cheap lights = cheap yield.

yea i figured i would spend most of my money on the lighting system but i have seen some sexy ladys grown under cfl and produced 4 to 5 ounces off of each plant... it all how it set up i think but i did plan on upgrading my light system just dont know when i will.... i think i will after my first grow.. right now im jus making sure i know how to do it an grow some nice bud before i spring for all the big buck stuff.

As promised - my three 'mother' plants. One cheddar cheese - one purple cush - and one white widow. These came out of 18oz cups this morning. They were cloned just before the plants in the grow tent went under 12/12 lights (HPS). These are about 12-14" long after 3 weeks. I'll take clones from these when they get another foot or so tall then these will go under a 12/12 T5 3000k bulbs.





This last picture is a shot of my grow tent taken this morning. There are some burnt leaves from the HPS light. I call them my 'Icarus' girls.
