for a small space, you can get plenty of light with two 26w cfl's. 6500k. bet they will grow a ton more as soon as you add more light

U turn lovin that ava... love that nigga in weeds. only one about his botany skillz...... here is a link to my 150W Sun System® HPS 150 Grow Light Fixture from Growco Indoor Garden Supply
and a 40W CFL should be good for the first 2-3 weeks...... they put off 5,000 lumens.... get a red and a blue. and you could go all the way through if you really wanted too....... with one plant. hehe

Unfortunately the $20 and $25 HPS lights aren't in stock anymore. Call me paranoid but once people started buying tons of them the site took them away and put up a red "CONSULT US BEFORE BUYING" sign. Either we killed his entire stock or he doesn't take kindly to our kind... lol. (south park reference) I was just about to get one too.
