i can only go buy what i have used and that is a 400w hps with a Sylvania Grolux blub that offers blue and red spectrums for both vegetative and flowering growth.

and so far was glad i choose it... and its doing a great job for my 5 plants

So I just looked at my rollitup and someone thought they would -REP me for the posts I have made in this thread

QUOTE] you need to learn more about other available lights

THIS WAS THE VERY FIRST QUESTION IN THIS THREAD>

QUTOE] where did you get your lights from and how much they cost? and what type of light are they?

WELL fella :wink: if I have only used a hps for veg and just started flowering how would I know about any other lights?
Are you trying to say to me to use CFLs? to that I say FUCK OFF..!!

I have done my reading up and homework SO dont think I havent which is why I went with a hps as I want some good bud at the end of my grow.

Can you show me any grow videos where they are using just cfls????
As I cant find any...All of the ones I have seen have used mh/hps and maybe cfls for there clones and start of there seedlings and not for the production of growing there buds

If you can I would luv to see it and see the difference in the bud both lights produce as even looking through the grow journals part of this site it is quite easy to see that most of if not all the time the HPS is out doing the CFL BY A LONG WAY..!!

Why I ask would I want to have 5-10 + lights just to make up the 52000 Lumens my SINGLE HPS LIGHT IS PUTING OUT over my 5 plants?
Not only that but how am I to have the 5-10+ lights a fan and a extraction fan on 2 plug scokets ? with out overloading the two of them?

Also I dont what to have to keep moving them every damm day I like and want to keep it simple and use the best that I can afford.

I understand some people my not have the cash that I have or want to spend the amount of money I have on there first grow but I am looking at this as long term.

A dog is for life not just for christmas springs to mind

I DO NOT want to pay anyone else ever again for bud and the only thing that will stop me growing now is if I ever get caught.

Maybe people need to word there questions abit more easily for you?

As from what I read he asked what is the light YOU meaning ME use and how much did it cost...Take alook back and you will see the first thing I replyed with was how much can YOU spend and what type of light do YOU want.

Sry if your budget is only £20 and YOU HAVE to use cfls this is not really my problem...is it?

But I will be telling people if asked to get a hps just from my grow alone

It's not just a simple question of what light should I get? There are a whole load of other factors you need to consider - people simplify things down way too much on here and ignore equally important things.

People put far too much importance on lights and what kind, lights are only one aspect of growing plants indoors - and they need to be considered in parallel with other factors such as ventilation. There are four basic building blocks to plant growth - light, co2, water and nutrients. If any of those 4 are deficient in any way - plants won't grow properly.

You can have the best lights in the world, if you ignore the ventilation, temperature and relative humidity side of things your plants will die very quickly.

So, realistically, you need to offer more information on your own circumstances to enable anyone to offer you any advice on what lights to get. If you only have a budget of £200, you can't spend all of it on lights - you have to spend some on fans, odour control, soil, nutrients etc.

A simple fluorescent set up with proper ventilation, temperature and RH control will grow far better plants than an ass kicking HPS with no ventilation control.

you seriously dug into the archives to get a thread that is over 2 years old,

you think this guy is still looking for lights, seriously?

i know bigbud who advised back then has given up growing sold his stuff and moved on,
