no such thing as to much light, just to much heat.

Imagine the yield, that's a huge crop.

HPS would be best for yielding if oyu want larger amounts then go off with HPS

for me tough with my space limitations i use cfl's i got good yield last harvest of my 2 plants (4 oz dry) and no im trying with a new strain and well lets see what happends

also you save more money in your electricity bill with cfl's
