i read that you have to switch between MH and HPS depending on what stage the plants are you tho (i forget what they're called, growing and flowering i guess) and cfls are good for both. or does it really not matter? plus cant you get the cfls closer to the plants?

nah u dont have 2 switch, its better because u get the blue light from mh for veg, and red light from hps for flowerin, but on their own they still do better then any cfl's.
theyre the cheap way out
dont settle

LMFAO @ your name bro!Ok so i know there are probably a million of these threads on this site asking for info on how to start growing...im doing the same thing. I dont feel like wandering around a million different forums tho looking for all the pieces to growing and putting them together.
I just wanna know what supplies exactly i would need to start a pretty small closet growing op (maybe 2-4 plants), i dont want any fancy expensive crap or a million chemicals or anything like that. i just want to get the most out of some plants (a good yield would be nice) with as little effort and cost as possible.
Can anyone give me a full list of supplies i would need for a successful grow? any tips on getting the seeds to germinate and start off right would be good too cus i hear the beginning of the growing is kind of the hardest part.
thanks
keep tokin
Rep points for that y0!
Yea, MH gives off a lot of blue spectrum, plants love this during veg. HPS puts off red spectrum which plants like during flowering. Some say you can use HPS all the way through. Some HPS bulbs have blue spectrum in them as well, so that's why.

ha thanks i like the picture.
So if i were to get one of the other two lights just one would do it? and im guessing at a pretty good distance above the plants.

Make sure if the bulb is for veg that it has 6500K output and around 2300K for flowering
