Actually, after further research....CFLs vs MH. What should I go for the veg stage? I'm not restricted by budget at the moment and would prefer to use the best method & lights rather than just go for the cheap one.

Also, I dunno if anyone read above but I've got 8 weeks til I go on vacation for 2 and a half weeks. Keep in mind that this is my experimental grow and I want to get things cleared up before I go (I suspect my mother will be checking up on my house while I'm away y'see). Is it possible for me to veg for 4 weeks and flower for 4? I know, I know, I'll get a crap yield and crap bud but this is my trial run so I don't mind.

Also, what do you think of my nutes? Any good?
