Im with growspecialist. I prefer MH but HPS does work also. I guess you use what ya got. peace

Compact flourescents keep your plants nice and ready for clones, keep the lights real low.

Metal Halide will make them grow fast, but lanky.

High Pressure Sodium is best for flowering.

It's all about spectrum, to get a full spectrum would be best, and easily achievable with a satelite 4 or 8, with equal grow and bloom bulbs, that's my input.

yea i like to clone and veg with cfl's. then jump to a nice hps for flowering.
saves a bit on electricity and easier on heat and ventilation.

Lanky? Dude, you couldn't be more wrong.
Here's a 400w MH grow.

I also use cfl's for veg & clones and HPS for flower. It works good for me.

I'm using 600W MH right now, soon to switch to HPS. I think I may look into some T5's next grow for early veg so I can save on electricity.
