first indoor grow
Hello Dryst.
Halogen lights are useless. They have the wrong wavelength, put out a ton of heat, and suck electicity like a Tribble! ; )
Home Depot does carry HPS lights but they are the little 70w security lights.
The 27w you saw was probably an incandescent p[lant light, also one step up from useless.
They do carry both compact and tube flourescents, both of which should have a place in your grow room.
Compacts (CFLs) are excellent for small seedlings. Cram as many as you can above the seedling tray.
Tubes are nice, I find, for the late seedling stage, when they have 3 sets of adult leaves, until they are ready to go under HID. Keep the fixture on chains, and raise it as the plants grow, to 2 inches above the plants.
One cool white and one aquarium tube per fixture works for me. 2- 2tube fixtures side by side is even better.\"Careful what you carry- \'cause the Man is wise- you are still an outlaw in their eyes\" -Steely Dan

I don\'t claim to know the first thing about growing anything; hell, I can\'t make a Chia pet sprout.
