MH is better for vegging, and HPS is better for flowering. Flouro's are also to veg with, and some swear by. Some even do complete grows using CFL's. Bobbong has an entire thread showing 6-8 oz's from CFL's I do believe and two plants.

As far as the digi ballast, to me its worth it because it does not use as much juice. So, it pays for itself. As far as the air cooled hoods, they are nice, but you can also use the kool tubes, and they are really kool. But then you need ducting, fans, and the likes. Its not that easy to just tell you to buy such and such and you are all set.

As far as a step-by-step grow guide, they do not exist. You gotta understand many little things that all become part of the big picture. I can tell you that ALL the growing info you would ever possibly need has already been posted here numerous times.

You need to invest your time and do the research to find it. These guys who grow buds the size you your forearm are not going to type the same thing out over and over again. They are too busy growing.

bongerstonerd00d Reviewed by bongerstonerd00d on . Preparing to get underway, a few Q's I am prepared to start my first ever indoor grow... that is, except for buying a light. I have a closet space of 45" L x 25" W x 72" H. I have looked around and have seen a few HSP lights that are within my budget, but I don't know about all of my options (i.e. Air coolings, EYE Hortilux bulb vs. standard, 120 vs. 240 volts). I also didn't know if it would be worth an extra $100 to get a ballast that will allow me to use MH plus HPS lights, since I was told that MH is better for veg, and Rating: 5
