how many watts are your flos?? I have two 18" under shelves but those are for my seedlings... they are enough for veg plants? I've read you need too many to make any progress beacuse of the amount of light needed. But they run about the same price and i'd be an easy change for me. I have 3 plants under them now, and the HPS is in a different room, just to see if this setup will do any good... if it doesn't I'll try your idea, thanks for all the suggestions.

ps, i'm a little uneducated on flo's if you have more info about them and there spectrum and all that jazz i'd love to learn. But the only thing I really have read works well is using them for the first 1-3 weeks and keeping the seedling/cuttings about an inch away, just thought it'd be too hard to do that with vegging plants cause they can grow that much in a day.
