CFLs, but to buy enough to give good yield, but in the end will spend as much on those as you will a HID lamp, because you need a bunch of CFLs. The biggest reason to use CFLs are space mainly. How much do you have for a budget?

A 400 watt lamp is manageable, but it isn't a joke, you get some nice buds under a 400.

I maybe misread that, I thought he meant unhatched seeds, that's why they call it dope, haha.

That's been done for years and years, decades even.

Some still do in a pinch, they work just fine.

Well you wanna leave growing nodes, so that would include some bud, but you can leave those spindly bottom buds.

Nice nugs you have there.

That's a lot of strains, how do you have room for it all?

Not necessary imo.

Have they swelled up a lot? I have never used a scope, I use visual clues, and the first one is the swell. But also keep in mind, the lower buds often ripen later than the tops, so if you go by the trichs, you should look up top, where you most likely have the majority of the nug. How many days...

Yeah you can get smaller home MH lamps at home improvement stores.

I always say, 250 watt HID lamps are the smallest I would ever use. Those will get you some nug. The next thing I usually say, is, if your going to get a 250 than why not a 400, and so on, he he. But as supplemental lighting, I suppose the ones you mentioned would work.

Yes it is, each time you water / feed you should get as thorough as you can.

It would be a good idea to start, if your in soil, a good product is Greensand, it's made by Epsoma / Organic Traditions, can get at any grow store. In hydro people probably use Earth Juice micro. Cal / Mag is a good product too, I consider calcium and magnesium more than a micro, and they need...

It's not bad, many just like to start small so they know how many big pots they need for the sprouts.

Just use the grow for veg, use the bloom when you are 2-3 weeks into flowering, don't feed every time you water. Are your plants getting micro nutrients?

You can get a HID easy if 200 is your budget for lighting. In my opinion 250 watt is the minimum you want to use.

If money isn't a big issue, I'd get a HID lamp, 250 watt minimum.

Need some more info, age of plants, what you are feeding / watering them with and when.

You can use it if you need to, but use the dull side.
