If you mean "what is the best type of bulb to grow a plant from start to finish using 1?" then I would say CMH.
Otherwise, be more specific please.

what is cmh? ; google didnt work. ---- i've got some cfls, could i use those for veg and then do hps....

the point is, I cant afford to buy a MH and a HPS

im not trying to spend a whole lot and my grow space is a small closet.

yea you can use cfl's and switch to a hps for budding you can use cfls the hole time you"ll get less yield but can still use them

a 250 to 400 watt system works well in most closet situations of a rough space of 2'x4',as long as you can ventilate the light,which is another consideration,as my fan cost me 180 beans...

you could also use a HPS/MH switchable system,since you only have the one plant,and just switch between the bulbs,increasing the size and the yield,by going MH to veg and HPS to flower.

thst cfl is a nice one and if your closets like 2ft by 3ft or sumthin close it'll be good for the whole thing from seed to budding i dont know the difference it would be but there is a difference but i wouldnt worry about it

yea cfl's are great. i got a current cfl grow my self and is doing me good.

but if you was to go with a single bulb setup it would have to be a 400w hps because the hps is great for flowering, as to the mh is good for veg but not as good for flowering like hps

hps can also do a great job for veg as well so you really cant go wrong with the hps ya know?

hope i helped.

that rep would be appreciated lol.
