I have been scanning the internet forums on growing and have learnt alot about what i need to grow the best blaze. -Lots of research on lights
This is a closet grow measuring 3.6-1.5-5.8 feet canvas closet lined with mylar
I have decided that it will be a 4 plant DWC (1 -20 gallon tub) growing using the Scrog method. The plant is either big bang or white widow from greenhouse seeds.
My big problem is what lights to use ?
option 1 -8 6500k 30w cfls about 2500 lumens each give or take and then switch to 2700k 30w cfls for flowering? (apartently they dont have a long life )?
option 2 -250w hps throughout (similar wattage to the combined cfls but more lumens)
option 3 - 400w hps throughout (power grow but scared about energy costs )
option 4 - 6500k cfls 30watt for veg then get a 250/400w hps for flowering
Ps i love the idea of cfls but is it productive ? i would really appreciate any wizdom on the matter as im stuck and want to get growing asap -Happy blazing to all
