if you have a good space you dont have to go 12/12 from seed, just veg until their the right size for you then switch to flowering. and yea a good HPS bulb is all you need 600 or 400 would be perfect

dont worry i enjoy helping you out, as far as those lights go ive never heard of them im gonna have to check them out. and as for lollipopping in flower its ok to do it. by the way man the plants are looking insanely healthy and clean, not too bushy.

yeah im trying i really cant wait to figure what i wanna do for lights cause i want more plants for sure. and another thing i wont do is during my 12/12 cycle is have the lights off at nights kinda drops the temp but they seem fine.

dont stress the light situation all you need is one HPS and your golden, check out a hydro shop near you or online. and you could have the lights on at night and on during the day, but theres nothing wrong with a little drop in the temp as long as its not to much.

no just one HPS will be great for both veg and flower, just switch it to 12/12 and it will do the job

so you may be able to get more light if the walls were reflective. i got those mylar sheets (i think thats what they are called). cheap. easy. and the plants that are closer to the walls, grow bigger ive noticed.

you can see them on my journal

yeah i def wanna get some reflective stuff on the walls after i figure where do get a cheap 400w hps and reflector. i was just curious why some people prefer dirt it seems like hydro is just faster and makes healthy plants just wanted to know why you guys choose dirt.
