Don't disregard my post its the truth.......for growing at home on the downlow,cfl's and t5 or t8 setups cant be beat!Now on the other hand if its legal or you just want to show how fat your wallet is
,or growing commercially(legal) then HPS is the lighting to use.I've been around,seen many grow setups,so I feel my opinion is valid.I would advise for anyone starting out,do your homework,keep in mind you can not just go buy any hid bulbs take it home and plug it in.There's just more to it,bulbs,ballasts,hoods or reflectors,duct and venting(heat),I know they don't last as long and for my $20 I could buy 8 26w cfl's plug'em in and grow.Now im not saying anything bad about hid's ,like clownbaby said cfl's have their place,in turn hid's have their place too...peace..................now.............................GO LONGHORNS FUCK O.U....hahahahahahahah
