is that a drink can ? that is not adequate for anything to grow get yourself a proper light or your doomed to failure my freind...no offense

U NEED TO GET BETTER LIGHTS MAN EVEN 4 1 PLANT GO TO THE PET STROE AND BUY A HILAGENT LIGHT ONLY 50 WITS AND PUT SIDE WAYS OR DOWN ON IT AS LONG AS IT GETS LIGHT AND WRAMTH

I was talking about the first two people, with their pessimistic, asinine responses, I mean seriously you can use these lights, you are NOT "doomed to failure" by using floro's of any kind that emit visible spectrum. And as for a "HILAGENT LIGHT" I googled it and got THIS so I assume that he means Halogen... and halogen has only one plausible use in the growroom, as a heater. The CFL's that are already in use are far better than a halogen... But anyway, enough of that.

As for the questions you can use those lights in either horizontal or vertical positions, the key to using them is to get them as close as possible without burning them... A HPS would be best if you can afford it.

Oh and No Offence intended to anyone
