best lights to use?

I'm going to the Hydroponic shop, home depot and ace hardware tomorrow I'm looking for something that will give my plants like the ultimate growth for my money...pretty much cheap lights but great results
thanks for reading this cheers

cfl's. I don't grow with them, but there cheap and I've seen some pretty good plants grow from them.

okay, I guess if I get the ballast and stuff i get %10 off. what about LEDS?

I've seen some interesting results with LEDs, but you have to do your research and make sure they are high-powered LED's, not the smack-ass knock-offs from China.

okay, do I search the web for the LEDS?

i got one 400w metal halide runnin on two plants soon to be 4 and they LOVE THIS LIGHT!!!! run HPS on flowering 400w would be all u need...or hell ive been hearing about the ceramic metal halides and they say that they r the new way to growing. use a 400w cmh for flower and veg!!! dont have to have two ballasts.. save some money.. and i would say they hell with flouros...use those for your clones or your starters...if u spend money now...its worth it after first harvest...shit i havent even reach my flower stage yet n these lights are the way to go compared to the cheap way...buddy of mine been doin sea of green with flouro on veg and hps on flower for over 8 years...thats the cheapest.. most efficient way to grow if u want to grow some good,dank,full,buds

Yea, go for the 400w hps instead of leds... You'll thank me later.

Better yet, screw a son agro 430 bulb into that socket and watch em explode with growth.

I have some questions. I am using flrsnts for vegetative and a 250 w for flwering. im using a sea of green method. I was wondering if the flrscnts with an LED would be enough for 18 or so clones to vegetate and keep a mother alive. Is it the proper spectrum?? and how many should i use? right now i have 120 w of flrscnts that i cn surround them with

you can keep clones and moms under flours. you need to check the spectum on your lights. 5000k min for veg. I use 40w tubes 6500k for side light in veg.
