MisterE-

*chuckle* Yep, it's a 4-hole bubbler tub, 10 gallon resevoir.

I'd love to hear an update on how your lighting works out - Experience beats all. *grin*

Perp -

I have had success in the past with incandescents during the flowering phase. At that point, the plants need red & far red light, and CFLs do provide some, but not as much. Hell, even good ol' Mr. Sunshine doesn't provide as much red as incandescents do!

CFLs are great for veg - They provide much blue and green spectrum, blue being what plants need most in veg. For flowering, I usually rotate the CFLs and the incandescents to provide a close-to-full-spectrum. I definitely give them more incandescent though - I've found that giving them lots of CFL in flower adds to their sprawling growth more than to their bud size. Your buds want lots of that red toward the end...

But perhaps I'll experiment with this batch since each plant has its own lamp. I could leave one on CFL throughout, and show y'all pix of the difference, if any. Test out that "anyone in their right mind" theory of yours. *smirk*
