Woahh!!!....Hang on buddy....HPS for flowering not Halide .. That's High Pressure Sodium by the way!

Halides are for veg' phase...You can use either HPs or MH for either phase and with good success....However for best results flower with an HPS and veg with an MH!


But that CFL should be powerfull enough to veg a plant for a long time...Howver I don't think it will cover much area with strong enough light to raise more then 1 or 2 plants!

My opiniun ofcourse and you are free to do what you like>>>>
