picking lights for a cab

[turtle420]

I'm a little lost on what I should be using for flowering period. What is the theory behind lighting for flowering period in terms of light amount, light duration and color temp for the light?

Side question: What kind of electricity bill jump would you all expect for a little cab setup like this?

RE: Light Amount <-- the more, the merrier
RE: Light duration <--Basically, anything over 14 hours of light will keep a plant in vegetative state (rule of thumb).

Say, 18/6 for veg phases...
Then, switch over to 12/12 to induce flowering to the plants.

RE: Color... you should read some information... I really don't know the ins and outs of the color/temp of the fluorescent bulbs.

RE: Electricity bill costs <--
You can determine, down to the penny, how much $ will this setup cost.
Wikipedia is your friend.
your total watts * cost of 1KWH * hours turned ON per month = total cost
(I believe).

Peace
