so 2400k for flower and 6500k for veg cfls are the way to go ? if using cfl's

yes 6500k CFL for veg is awesome, just get the 20$ 150w HPS for flowering .. much better than cfl

 

[boneyshapeye]

ya it may be better i also am limited by 24 inches in Celing clearence that and i hear they perduce lots of heat so i think i may just get another cfl or so

 

[learing the ways]

yer if u only have that space just stik with the cfls otherwise our going to come across more problems if you get hps.good luck

I have 3 175 metal halide's. i dont know how to use them. all i have is the three bulbs.ihave never tried them in a regular socket to see if they will work. hell u could say i'm straight fuckin baked and in duh syndrome about the lights.

 

[420weedman]

it would cost too much to get ballasts to run those MH bulbs
honestly i have a 400 MH and i like my 10 25w 6500k CFLs better

 

[boneyshapeye]

how big of a diffrence would thier be in 4 cfls vs 1 lol im only using 1 atm but ima get 3 more i only got 1 kid at the moment

 

[420weedman]

yea 4 would be better ... but 1 will keep it alive/growing somewhat ,...

 

[boneyshapeye]

[420weedman]

[boneyshapeye]

haha ya dude sry this purp is fu%in strong woopin my as$ lol

 

[gamebird65]

so if you are using 10.... 25 watt cfl then 5..... 50 watt cfl is same as. is there a reason you prefer 10 bulbs versus 5 bulbs? i have one of those 225 led lights off e-bay for 35.00 or so and it has proven to be great for germination and getting stems tall enough for setting lower in net pot.

 

[420weedman]

i like using the 10 25 watts cuz they were easy to get, cheap , and i made 2 seperate hoods with 5 bulbs in each .... and they spread the light out perfectly

 

[boneyshapeye]

i just picked up a second 2700k 24 watt er now i have two rdy for flowerin do u guys think it will make that big of a diffrence from 1 to 2 thier both 1500 lumens making it 3k lumens im doing a small 16 oz cup gro
