do you have enough cash to purchase a hps light. 100-300 bucks. Wide price range but it depends on where you look. can you post a pic

you said you only have one plant. I would say get a 250 watt hps or even a 400 watt one. They are really bright but will give you what you need for what your doing. or get some t5 lighting if circulation will be an issue

i say go with it cause heat isnt a big deal. get a fan to deal with that problem If you already have the light just get a couple fans. Check out my grow. i keep my 400 watt Hps 8 inches away by using a few fans. Cfl will take more time to setup with no where near the results as a balast light

Is that a 120W equivalent, or actually a 120W CFL? I ask because I've never seen an actual 120W CFL before. Can you post a link?
