If you buy the cheapo units at wal mart or lights of america crappola, just buy enuff to equal 250W of the REAL ACTUAL WATTAGE...not the ___W = ____W formula they throw on there.

Use the true watts and total them up.

You will get about a 3000 Kelvin setup....far less than the ideal, but better than regular light bulbs....closer to MH.

As far as your veg goes, it you are using HPS, I would also crank up the CFL's.

HPS just produce around 2700 Kelvin....not ideal for veg...

Let me smoke this one hitter and go get your pics for you.....brb...
