i get my florescents in stores
i have used t-8's and cfls
u want 6500k for veg 2700k for flower
the choice is yours on lighting if me i would get the 150 hps then buy a metal halide bulb till u switch to flower the put in hps bulb
u can run a mh bulb in a hps light but not a hps bulb in a mh light


Thanks for everything guys it helps haha,
Do u think I should just buy more fluorescents? Or should I go for the hps?
And do u buy your fluorescents online or at a store?

It would be cool if I could get the website or the store.
What fluoros do you use also?
Just wondering what works good for you.
 
Ya the item I plan on buying on eBay is a 250 watt both MH and HPS bulb included.
The issue I'm having is I'm worried becuz I'm growing in my bedroom and idk how bright it will be as well as how I will keep it from getting to hot.

If u got the money now I would suggest getting the hps/Mh but if u wanna go flouro then I get mine from walmart either te 26/27 or the 23 watt bulbs work best for me and I buy the light socket at walmart I also go to homedepot and buy Y assorted for light bulbs and make my own light kinda I'm gonna have my pics up shortly I'll post the link here

I find sylvanias work better that anything else I found unless wanna spend ten dollars a piece for enhanced blue spectrum bulbs they sell at my homedepot they blow everything out the water rated at 5500k and color is really blue u will see when I post the pics

I can't stress enough that the hps will be better u would have to vent the heat out of the grow area but I will produce better buds and has way better penetration and a better spectrum

You should design and build a small grow cab or modify something to create one and use cfls if you only have limited space. Hps and mh are going to get really hot and in a limited space will probably cause more problems than its worth. I would read a little in the cfl forum and really plan stuff out before your next grow Your not gonna pull ounces over nite.
 
Thanks, I really wanted to use hps tho, that's how u get good shit.
How much room would I need for a 250 watt hps?
I was thinking about modifying something into a grow cab.
I can move some shit around in my room to put it in here.

Any suggestions?
