Really? The --ONLY-- bad experience I had from nirvana was with bigbud and thats because 8 of 10 seeds didnt germinate and I never have problems germinating so I dunno?!? As far as the lightning I stagger and add light as the plants need it. Also is easier on the electric bill -- no point running everything when I can still maximise growth on less wattage They usually start on 1 48 watt cfl and I add from there. Currently they're under 2 48 watt and 2 26 watt cfl daylights which is yeah about equivilant to my 150 but less lumens and different spectrum light. For flower yes, in prior grows I was using 1 sole 150w HPS, but I purchased a 250w HPS as well which again, allows me to stagger lighting patterns. Ultimately, with both the 150 and 250 running that is the ewquivilant of 400 watts and is ~16k lumen off the 150 and ~29k lumen off the 250 which totals ~35k lumen with both lights running (5k lumen loss over a 400 watt fixture but in my opinion the versitility and adaptability is worth the tradeoff). On nirvana's papays, breeder spec is 7-8 weeks flowering. GL w/ your grow :thumbsup:
