Good Idea?

[SixesUp]

I have been growing outside for a year or so and im about to move out of my parents house and I've decided to start on a hydroponics project in my closet and i was wondering if it was a good idea to mount lights vertical on the walls. I already have 4x 4ft floros that i thought i could use. any info would be appreciated.

You are gonna want them as close to the plant as poosible...maybe consider getting better lighting?? Possibly a metal halide for veg and a hps for flowering. It all depends on you budget. CFL are a cheap and effective source of light....if setep properly. How many true watts are your 4fters?

Yeah, id say to get good results with hydro gets yourself a small watt HPS, like 250 watt for a start!

yeah i already have a 400w metal halide and i had these sitting in storage and i just thought a lil extra light may be good

Then yeah, get all the lumens you can!
