I too use discount hydro for stuff...but not CFL's.

If you do get the CFL's, do not use the parabolic reflector shown.

Your grow space should be built so that no reflector is even needed. Let the walls you have be your reflectors. Light should be everywhere and when you close your door, you should be color blind for a few minutes.

My littlest one thinks I am GOD when he sees me open the door to my grow chamber.

Personally, I beleive those reflectors stunt the growth of plants.

I wouldnt use the reflectors.

When I use CFL during veg state, I attach or hang them from a white board.

HARDDON Reviewed by HARDDON on . FUCK! I'M STUCK!! Hey gang. I'm a first time grower, still in the process of getting my growroom set up and of course, I've hit a snag choosing my lights. I've read that anywhere from 25-50 watts per sq ft. is neccessary to grow good green. I have a closet, 12 ft. sq. total. I was thinking about 3 or 4 plants to start. I'd say a 600w HPS light would be the best bet. On another site I found that a 400w HPS light is more than adequate to grow 4 plants in a 16 sq. ft. room. What should I believe? I want to Rating: 5
