Best Light To Use?? Please Help

i have a couple feminized seeds ready to be planted im putting one in each one of my closets..whats the best light i should use for just one plant? i dont have much money so im trying to find the cheapest way anybody have any ideas?

Use 3 42 watt CFL's for each plant (about $8 each)

Also, if your just doing two plants, just keep them together you would probably spend more in buying two light setups than you would one, mainly the fixture itself.

cfls for sure. keep em close to your plant and try to get them all around it if you can.

HPS all the Way Baby!!!

i want to know how many plants i can put in my growspace i have a 4x4 space with reflective sheeting on thre sides i use 400hd and 400hps at the moment i grow 4 plants at a time because i was told if the plants touch they will stretch yet when i see grow rooms on the net the plants seem to be shoulder to shoulder so any advice would be welcome thanks

u shouldn't hijack othr ppl threads man...

for the 42 watt cfls should i use the bulbs or the tubes or works just as good either way

The bulb's are much better than tubes. The tubes are great for sprouting and vegging, but unless theyre used with some other type of light, theyre useless for flowering. The basic rule of thumb is: the more light, the better. Get as many CFL's as you can afford. The 23 watt CFL's have the best lumen per dollar ratio, meaning theyre the best deal. 5 23w's should run you about 10 bucks, and like I said... use as many as you can. Id also recommend getting some soft white and some warm white.

Keep your plants together, one closet is plenty of room for two plants.

i prefer the bulbs

thanks for all the help i just got a new one from outside i had its about 9 inches tall but real dark green and healthy i have got the bulbs and they are on it 12/12 is that too little or too much and when is she ready for nutriets?

When your plant has its third set of fan leaves it is ready for nutrients. I would recommend mixing the nutrients half strength for the first 1-2 weeks. Goodluck and happy toking.
