flourescent versus hps

I am a beginner at growing but am serious about having a nice crop. I am currently growing under 100 watt fluorescence for each plant cause I am taking over a set up that a friend started. My reading and studying tells me that wont grow big plants or buds and I am ready to invest and do this right. Any guidance is appreciated,

Far as I know, fluorescents do a great job for vegetative growth. I used a fluoro/cfl combo for my vegetative. Soon as I went into flowering I switched to HPS. There are cheap HPS lights out there if you need one. HPS really helps make some dense buds. I wouldn't try to flower with them, personally, but go HPS.

Hps is a good idea iv used flos to grow before and the plant was small and buds were not every big i bought a hps and this is my first grow with it for flowering that is and i wouldnt use any but my hps ever again the buds are nice thick and plants are bushy.

Hey thanks. that helps. Everything I've read says hps is the way to go for dense buds, I just don't personally know anyone to ask who has hands on experience. I have already invested alot of time and I want to get on the right track here. thanks again
