Hey whats up guys Im getting close to completing my cabinet to start my first grow (delicious seeds cotton candy) and have been contimplating on the lighting. I have a 6 fixture vanity with 12 cfls on it that I plan on starting my seedlings with. Now my cabinet is 1.5ftx3ftx5ft and Im using a 4inch inline with carbon filter for exhaust and a duct booster for intake. Im really wanting to try and get 3 plants goin if not ill settle for 2 and what im wondering is what the best lighting option for flowering would be. I had planned on getting a 250w mh/hps for the rest of veg and flower but was wondering if anyone could give advice on to whether or not the cfls (switching to 2700k at flower of course) would be the best option over the hid since the cabinet is fairly small. Any insight or advice is appreciated
Edit: oh yea and the bulbs i got now are 26w 6500k and if i stick with cfl thru flower id be doin the 26w 2700k, im just wondering if doin it with a hid would be worth while in terms of yield and what not
