Oh so you have a choice on what kind of lights your using? HID all the way..
i agree with the hids..i was just commentin on the cfl question..i use that same cfl for my veg..but i have a hps that i use for flower...i belev that hids or to much for the plant to start out with...maybe after a mounth then i would put the hid over them..but just startin out..i dont think they need all that power....but we all have our own way of growing......those still need a balist and I bet the 250 puts off more heat then the 100w's I'm using. If you want that type of power hid is the beter way to go. is the light 50 or the whole setup? lol crap need to read the whole thing sorry. Again sorry never seen anything larger then 42w self balist. You still need to keep them very close to the plant. hid just has beter penatration per watt.
Ha yeah you already told us, ima dumbassIve got a 4x4 hydro hut...
i was just thinkin the same thing..Are tomatos, buds?
Same set up for me. But I use a 100w, 80W and a set of 4' tubes for veg and clone and a little 400w for flower.i agree with the hids..i was just commentin on the cfl question..i use that same cfl for my veg..but i have a hps that i use for flower...i belev that hids or to much for the plant to start out with...maybe after a mounth then i would put the hid over them..but just startin out..i dont think they need all that power....but we all have our own way of growing......
