OK since the post seemed to work a little more info:
I've been growing outdoors since 1979 which kind of tips my hand as to my age. Always had good results, but I'm now in a time and place I can do full indoor grows. Got a 5X6' indoor room partitioned off in my basement, now waiting for beans from SoS which should be here shortly. Got a 600W Apollo that came w/both MH and HPS bulbs. I get the feeling the Apollo is not top of the line but if I can get a couple grows of the bulbs and get my feet wet I can upgrade.
Anyway I do have some questions, I guess to pose one at a time I will ask question #1:
I'm going to start w/5 indicas in 4 gal pots under the 600 MH's. Do you think it is worth the effort to add some supplemental lighting with some CFLs once they get some meat on their bones? I have some CFL's up to 60W and there is no problem adding a couple to fill in the edges. Electric costs not much of a factor. In other words is it worth it, and will I see results from adding some CFLs to the mix. I'll switch to the HPS at veg time. Should I run the CFLs veg time, flowering time, both or neither?
Thanks in advance - Aim
