Oh its a 200w 5 bulb T-5 unit. Bright though!!! And low heat. It's perfect for vegging.

Ha, yeah, Love those trees....

If your using HPS, do you tend to start them off with the HPS, or do you like to hit them with the MH or CFLS for the first couple weeks?


Let me know what your opinions are.
i pop my seeds right into the soil under a 400wt mh. they sprout in 2 to 3 days latter

It comes down to electricity for me. I run a 1000w hps, so for me to keep it on 24/0 or even 18/6 would add a bundle to my bill. I pay .15 per kwh
and along with 300w of air pumps and another 250-300w T-5's veg light, plus two water pumps a dehumidifier, cloner, and 5 fans and an air conditioner. I'm up at around 3200w alone in my growroom. Which works out to about. $350 dollars a month. gotta go pay that bill right now actually... dammit.

what is ignorant about using the best light? just because you can start with cfl does not mean you should. :finger::bigjoint:
man you throw that finger up a lot for a pot head....

and for a stoner you sure start a lot of controversy....

I don't think I've seen one thread of yours with something positive to say.

the funny think is ludacris has not posted in this thread and besides that theres nothing wrong with ludacris. we all tend to speak our minds sometimes and talk shit. but back to your? you can start seedswith out light and with lightits all up to you. but when the seeds sproutyou better figure out what lights yourgoing to run if you want them to live. goodluck bro hopeyou figure itout, im sure you will.

more proof ...that cfls work..


i think is most imp the conditions , genetics and curing time to get primo results , after a mont curing pot looks more bag appealing and looses the green colr and develops unique aromas ,iam not saying that i grow exotics or anithing like it with cfls but they are as good as the mids or shit people sell you some time for dro or haze...;-)
