Hey homeboy, I would get a Metal Halide setup, I got one used and refurbished for a C-Note, off ebay shipping included. The cfl's was doing the trick, but they really took off after I got the metal halide. My girls are all about 15 inches tall, and ready to switch to 12/12. Dude was right tho the FAQ is very good help like I told you before. It will answer alot of your questions and teach you some new shit. But you def on the right track. I'll be tuned, and feel free to ask me for advice, I'm new at this but I've done so much research, I think it would be hard to tell I'm as green as I am. Holla At A Balla.
